Ballard church OKs shelter
It's been a long haul to give 20 homeless men a new place to sleep, but, on May 10, members of Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church voted to allow a SHARE shelter to move May 30 into the old Calvary Lutheran Church that they oversee in Ballard.
The move was postponed from its original date of Feb. 28 following complaints from nearby residents who worried that shelter and tent city operator SHARE would harbor sex offenders in a neighborhood with a daycare center
