The former Redevelopment Agency purchased the Property in 2010. The intended use for the building was to relocate St. Vincent de Paul's Food Program from Grand Avenue to this site. The Agency believed this was a more suitable location for St. Vincent de Paul's to provide food services to the area's homeless population as it would afford them more space, including a seating area as well as space for additional homeless services. However, the Redevelopment Agency was dissolved before St. Vincent's was able to secure sufficient funding to remodel the building and relocate its services to the site.
