SHELTER FOR HOMELESS IS ON SCHEDULE

The first construction phase of the emergency shelter for the homeless of the Community for Creative Non-Violence is on schedule and is expected to be completed by Dec. 22.

CCNV leader Mitch Snyder, who staged a hunger strike to get the Reagan administration to provide $6.5 million to renovate the shelter, said that 700 homeless people are living in a section of the shelter at 425 Second St. NW. CCNV is planning to house about 1,100 homeless people during the winter months.

The renovation will make it possible for the center to provide a comprehensive medical clinic, mental health services and a dental clinic. More than$2 million is needed to complete the renovation.
