WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The Union Rescue Mission in Wichita is evaluating a decision to end a policy of providing a bed and food for the homeless with no strings attached.

The mission decided to phase out that policy after realizing some men had used the mission for decades. Now, it is experimenting with programs designed to help the men move on, without shutting the doors on them.

Director Denny Bender says the mission hasn’t seen as much progress as he’d hoped. but it has been able to allocate 10 beds a night for a program that provides a place to stay for men who work but are still homeless.

The Wichita Eagle reports  21 men are in various stages of obtaining housing rather than just staying at the mission.
