Paris Men’s Homeless Shelter Closed Down

The Paris News reports that Paris City Manager Grayson Path shut down the Christians In Action Men’s Homeless Shelter on 2nd SW St after firefighters responded to a fire in a bathroom at the shelter. Also, they uncovered numerous building and electrical code violations. An inspection by the Fire Marshal determined that the building was unsafe for human occupancy and boarded it up. When it was on Clarksville Street, a 2009 fire at the shelter resulted in the deaths of five residents.
