Homeless shelter moving into former UW fraternity house

A homeless shelter is moving to the University of Washington's Greek community and some students said they are concerned about their safety.

ROOTS Young Adult Shelter purchased the property of a former fraternity on 19th Avenue near the university in October.

The organization plans to turn the former fraternity house into an emergency homeless shelter with possibilities of longer services and even more resources.

Students who live nearby said they were not happy with the idea of welcoming their future neighbors at first, but after speaking with the shelter's interim director, things changed.

Currently, the shelter is operating out of the University Temple Methodist Church on 43rd Avenue.
