PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The City of Vancouver is proposing a 150-bed "bridge shelter" that will bridge the gap for people as they transition from living on the street to finding permanent housing.
Officials say it's a necessary step to address the city's current homelessness emergency declaration.

The shelter, which hasn't been given an official name yet, is still in the preliminary stages. If everything goes as planned, it will open in 2025.
