Winston-Salem leaders touted a motel conversion project as a solution to homelessness. Now delays and lawsuits are raising questions about its future
This week the city of Asheville pulled the plug on a long-awaited project to convert a motel into housing for people experiencing homelessness. The move came after the partner organizations managing the project were named in a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
Winston-Salem has been attached to a similar project with the same partners since 2022. And city leaders say that partnership stands, despite repeated delays.
