Fremont has declared an emergency shelter crisis as the city’s homelessness population is likely to increase. According to the resolution, the city is anticipating an increase due to the lack of funding for supportive housing. The approval of the declaration starts an emergency shelter program led by Cardea Health and Abode Services. Cardea Health will assist people with severe medical needs. Abode will provide case management and housing navigation services, which will help people toward permanent supportive housing. The city plans to open 150 emergency shelters at the Motel 6 South location. The motel is on 46101 Research Ave., off of the Mission Boulevard exit on 680. Councilmember Teresa Keng said it’s concerning that the city has yet to receive Measure W funds. “Our taxpayers have paid towards Measure W and we have this huge need,” she said.
