A proposed homeless shelter in Bremerton's Sheridan neighborhood faces opposition from residents and city council members, despite support from faith leaders and nonprofits. The city risks losing $2.6 million in funding if construction does not begin soon.

Rev. Arienne Davison advocates for the shelter, citing the city's critical need for permanent housing solutions as discussions have stalled for years. The Salvation Army's temporary shelter is set to close in May 2024, increasing urgency for a new facility.
