Outreach withdraws new shelter plans in Killeen amid zoning concerns
What happened
Outreach withdrew plans for a new facility because of zoning permit concerns. This withdrawal means the Killeen City Council may find itself without a shelter after December 31. The current downtown shelter operated by Friends in Crisis is transitioning to a veterans assistance center and is unlikely to continue shelter operations after January 1.

Why it matters
The withdrawal of the new shelter plan challenges the City Council's responsibilities regarding zoning and funding. The city's funding for the current downtown shelter operators runs out at the end of the year.
