Low-cost site for homeless services
The law approves a lease of Parcel No. 175C at Annas Retreat, St. Thomas (about 16,041 sq. ft., 0.368 acres) to Hearts In Service Association. The annual rent is $1,200. The term is 15 years, with up to two 5-year renewals. The site must be used for programs that help homeless families, individuals, veterans, and at-risk youth, and to run a soup kitchen. The low rent cuts the nonprofit’s costs and supports more local services.
