The City of Tulare is constructing a new emergency shelter to provide safe, temporary housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. This facility will offer essential services and support to help residents transition toward stable, long-term housing. The project reflects the City’s commitment to addressing homelessness and improving community well-being.

On September 17, 2024, the City Council approved multiple contracts to begin construction on the new emergency homeless shelter. The facility will feature a 20,000-square-foot steel building, three modular structures for office space, a food pantry, a laundry room, and a classroom. It will also include restroom and shower facilities, a modular unit village, dog kennels, storage containers, a parking lot, exterior lighting, roadway frontage improvements, utility extensions, and perimeter fencing.
