Keokuk City Council takes first steps to create new homeless shelter
“The city of Keokuk is taking its first steps in potentially building a new homeless shelter.
In their meeting last week, the city council passed its first reading regarding a location for a potential shelter.
That’s the first step in categorizing homeless shelters under a special use permit in Keokuk, allowing them to be more commercially operated.
Community Development Director Pam Broomhall said this is needed to support the homeless population.”
