SUMMARY: State leaders are evaluating the future of a temporary homeless shelter in New Orleans, which opened after State Police shut down several encampments in January. The shelter, set to close by March 11th, has housed up to 183 people, with the current number down to just over 100. Many residents came from encampments near I-10, Highway 90, and the Superdome. The shelter has been considered successful, with 47 people already securing housing, and 49 others in the process. A 30-day extension is possible, but no decision has been made yet. The cost of the facility is approximately $19 million.
