Harbor Homes executive director Kristin Leutz announced Sunday that the nonprofit is withdrawing its application because the zoning board of appeals referred the project to the Martha’s Vineyard Commission for review.
At a zoning board of appeals meeting Wednesday, several residents voiced their opposition to the nonprofit’s plan to open a shelter at 21 Hudson avenue.
The Martha's Vineyard Regional High School committee voted unanimously in favor of letting the Island's winter homeless shelter return to school-owned property at Martha's Vineyard Community Services.
Overnight shelter beds will become available next month for Islanders who are homeless or without heat, but locations have been secured for only six nights a week and there’s no place yet for a daytime warming center.
