The City of New Haven is proposing to buy the Days Inn on Foxon Boulevard and turn it into an emergency shelter to help address the city’s housing crisis for those experiencing homelessness. The proposed shelter would be the first of its kind for the City of New Haven.
Mayor Justin Elicker said the city has reached a tentative deal with the owners of the hotel to acquire the $6.9 million building using American Rescue Plan Act funding and the city’s budget surplus to help operate the proposed shelter.
“This is a really important step that we’re taking to ensure we have more access for people to stabilize and to access more support,” said Elicker.
