A new shelter in Rock Island opens amid a city moratorium on social service centers, with its future hanging on an upcoming council vote.
A new community center, Third Place QC, opened in Rock Island, Illinois, offering daytime services to unhoused and low-income residents, but its future is uncertain due to a citywide moratorium on new social service facilities set to end October 13.
The center, which provides access to resources like laundry, meals, and counseling, opened 13 days before the moratorium ends despite city regulations that would have restricted its location.
City officials have allowed temporary operation pending resolution of two safety concerns, while the city council prepares to vote on lifting the moratorium, potentially enabling retroactive approval.
