Wausau Rhinelander, WI, October 28, 2026 —
Construction is advancing on a year-round homeless shelter at the former Odd Fellows Temple in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The planned shelter is expected to accommodate up to 30 people.
City leaders anticipate that the facility will open between November and December. The information provided does not specify a particular opening date, so the timeline remains an anticipated window rather than a confirmed day.
Current work at the building includes plumbing, drywall and sprinkler installation. Those tasks are part of efforts to bring the structure up to code. No further details were provided about the work schedule, the project’s cost, the organizations involved or whether inspections have taken place.
The shelter is described as year-round, distinguishing its planned operation as a continuing service rather than one limited to a particular season. The summary does not provide details about how people will access the shelter, what services may be offered or how its capacity will be managed.
With construction ongoing, the next stated milestone is the anticipated opening between November and December. The exact date and whether the project will meet that expectation were not provided. The available information also does not specify when work is expected to be completed or whether additional construction remains after the plumbing, drywall and sprinkler installation.
