By the end of the year, Greensboro's homeless residents will have a place to spend their daytime hours, advocates will announce today.

An East Washington Street warehouse and office building near the former home of the Southern Plate and Window Glass Co. has been donated to the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro to be used as a new service center for the area's homeless.

Organizers hope to use $55,000 in city and nonprofit funds to continue to run a temporary day center until summer, while the permanent building is renovated. City staff will ask the City Council to designate $30,000 for that purpose tonight.
