The Bellevue Men’s Shelter, also known as the 30th Street Shelter, is an intake, assessment, and general population shelter for homeless men located on East 30th Street between First Avenue and FDR Drive. The Capital Project Scope Development (CPSD) project, represents a unique opportunity for the staff, the homeless, and the city to renew and to optimize the facility’s services.

The “New 30th” provides a vision for the complete transformation of the physical space at the Bellevue Men’s Shelter to provide a clean, safe, durable, and flexible environment, that is enlivened by meaningful and productive programming and services, and strengthened through positive links to the surrounding community which can now use spaces within the building. The goal is to advance shelter design and best practices, to ultimately help clients build life skills that reduce the duration of their homelessness.
