IMPACT60 & Union County Family YMCA Earn Zoning Approval for Short-Term Shelter

IMPACT60 has announced that the City of Marysville Planning Commission unanimously approved the nonconforming use of an adjacent building to the Union County Family YMCA as a potential short-term emergency shelter.

This approval marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to combat homelessness and provide critical support to vulnerable individuals and families in Union County. The facility will be transformed into a safe, welcoming environment where those experiencing housing instability can find temporary refuge and access to essential resources.

A Collaborative Effort

The project is the result of a strong partnership between IMPACT60, the Union County Family YMCA, and local government officials. By repurposing the existing building, the initiative maximizes community resources and accelerates the timeline for opening the shelter.

"We are incredibly grateful for the support of the Planning Commission and our partners at the YMCA," said a spokesperson for IMPACT60. "This shelter will not only provide a roof over people's heads but also serve as a gateway to long-term stability through our comprehensive support programs."

Next Steps

With zoning approval secured, the focus now shifts to renovating the facility to meet safety and accessibility standards. IMPACT60 is actively seeking community support, including volunteers and donations, to help bring this vital project to fruition.
