With a unanimous vote, Santa Clarita City Council members voted to extend the lease with Bridge to Home for its emergency winter shelter Tuesday at City Hall.

“It was a (4-0) vote to allow the homeless shelter to allow the shelter to be at the Drayton Street location for the next three years,” said Councilman TimBen Boydston.

There was also a concern, which was brought up by Councilwoman Marsha McLean, and seconded by Boydston, that the shelter’s lease left it subject to cancellation without City Council approval.

Bridge to Home is seeking 100 volunteers in an effort to help get an accurate count of the homeless population in the Santa Clarita Valley, said Tim Davis, executive director of Bridge to Home, which runs the Santa Clarita Valley Emergency Winter Shelter.

From 7-10 p.m. next Thursday, shelter officials are asking for volunteers over the age of 18 to help conduct a biannual count.
