SOURCE: AUSTIN (KXAN) — The City of Austin is looking into how much it would cost to convert the former downtown Health South facility into a temporary homeless shelter.
In a city memorandum sent on Tuesday, staff members provided their “best estimates on costs for such a conversion and an updated timeline” for the project.
That estimate? Between $2.5-6.6 million.
Staff members also estimated it will take 24-30 months to convert the building for residential use.
