The Conrad Center, located in Shockoe Valley, will be able to accommodate 150 to 175 people as the city’s overflow shelter for the homeless this winter. The building initially opened as a soup kitchen and most recently has housed the city Office of Community Wealth Building’s job development programs. The culinary program closed more than two years ago.
