Show Notes
It's been six-plus years since Alameda approved the transformation of aging federal buildings on McKay Avenue into a facility to care for and house homeless seniors discharged from hospital stays. Spearheaded by the Alameda Point Collaborative, this humanitarian project was delayed by a stubborn clutch of naysayers, the Covid pandemic and federal intransigence.
Now, it's set to open next March and former APC director Doug Biggs reflects on the entire drama and how compassionate Alamedans and our regional officials have prevailed.
