Homeless families will have the opportunity to receive transitional housing thanks to Next Step Homeless Services in Fort Smith.

 

Kim Wohlford, Next Step’s executive director, said construction of the first of two transitional houses for homeless families should be completed at the end of April. Located at 2109 Wirsing Ave. in Fort Smith, the groundbreaking for the project took place at the end of January.

 

Wohlford said transitional houses for homeless families is a new step for the organization.

“We don’t have one in Fort Smith,” Wohlford said. “There are no agencies providing single-family residences for homeless families currently. There are some apartment-type dwellings, and some multiple family units, but not a single-family residence.”
