Some families in Plainfield have now been moved over to the Performing Arts Center (PPAC) for additional shelter services after the city condemned two buildings for having 235 maintenance violations last week.

City officials continue to work with the families that are now in need of permanent housing. Tenants affected moved out of Plainfield High School Sunday night and transitioned to the PPAC. For the foreseeable future, the performing arts center will continue to provide services regarding housing, food vouchers and clothing.

As of Monday morning, it doesn’t look like anyone is utilizing the performing arts center for shelter as many families were given hotel vouchers, but the facility is here to use should any issues arise. While families say it hasn’t been easy, they’re grateful for the additional help. Sixty families totaling 298 people were housed.
