This Lacey homeless shelter has more than 100 new residents, and an I-5 camp is now empty

A former Days Inn in Lacey that is now known as the Maple Court enhanced shelter now has 115 residents, and there are still 15 rooms available, Planning Commission Manager Ryan Andrews told the Lacey Planning Commission Tuesday.

Five of the vacant rooms will come online next week after they are repaired, he said.

The result is that there are no more homeless residents in an encampment next to Interstate 5 just off Sleater Kinney Road Southeast near the Hobby Lobby store in Olympia.

“Those that were identified for housing have been placed in Maple Court and those who were not placed in housing have been removed from the site,” Andrews said.

I noticed the other day that the city placed mid-sized boulders on the old encampment site.
