RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO
FY 2024/25 ASSET CONTRACT WITH THE SALVATION ARMY
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the City Council approved some of its FY 2024/25 ASSET funds to be
reserved and unallocated for emergency shelter services needs that may arise; and,
WHEREAS, in winter 2024-2025, The Salvation Army (TSA) provided emergency
shelter services (hotel vouchers) for those needing shelter from the cold winter weather.
Although most of the funds had been expended, TSA continued providing services,
feeling it was necessary to still assist with keeping individuals sheltered from cold weather
conditions; and,
WHEREAS, approving the additional $25,000 for this service brings to the total
City funding for emergency shelter services from TSA in FY 2024/25 to $130,000.
Currently, there is not a clear long-term solution for emergency shelter services; however,
there continues to be a community need for temporary housing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the amendment to the FY 2024/25 ASSET contract with The Salvation Army
adding $25,000 for temporary emergency shelter services is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 24th day of June, 2025.
