Commissioners approve letter of support for Dickinson supportive‑housing shelter project
Summary
Dunn County approved providing a letter of support for a planned supportive‑housing and homeless response center in Dickinson; county commissioners said the facility would serve the broader southwest North Dakota region but that final city approval rests with Dickinson officials.
The Dunn County Board voted to provide a letter of support for a proposed supportive‑housing and homeless response center in Dickinson. The project — led by multiple partners including the United Way, CHI hospital, Stark County, Dickinson Public Schools, and others — would repurpose an existing Evergreen facility into a regional supportive‑housing and homeless response center, supporters said. The auditor presented the request and commissioners discussed neighborhood concerns and the role of Dickinson’s city commission in approving the project; the board’s approval was limited to a letter of support addressed to the City of Dickinson and did not provide funding. The motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
