SIGN UP The Housing and Homeless Solutions committee asked city staff Monday to come up with what's called a "request for interest" document, or "RFI" to help find out if a developer might have an alternative plan for the site.
Council member Zarin Gracey, whose District 3 includes the hospital site, unsuccessfully lobbied for the city to sell the property in 2024, says he hopes the process produces ideas for alternative uses that include another purchaser.
"If there’s no interest for it, then we can also answer that question too and say ‘you know, in this case well maybe permanent supportive housing is it,'” Gracey said.
