TUCSON , Ariz. — A very large shelter for immigrant asylum seekers has been a team effort by Pima County and Catholic Community Services. Thousands of people were kept off the streets through the effort, but now a new contractor is taking over the shelter.
Pima County says 99 percent of asylum seekers moved from Casa Alitas to sponsor homes in other cities. “Respectfully the County doesn't necessarily want to be doing this, but absent any real leadership on the Federal level and the fact that we're surrounded by other counties that are smaller and don't have the capacity, we stepped up and continue to step up and I'm proud to serve on a board that has made consistently made the right decision.”Everyone in the shelters has legal approval to be in the US.
