A historic Sacramento building that has been around for more than 100 years reopened last week as a supportive housing shelter for the homeless.

The two buildings that used to be known as Sacramento’s Capitol Park Hotel—located on 9th and L streets in Downtown Sacramento—were built in 1911 and 1912, according to a Jan. 8 press release from Mayor Darrell Steinberg’s office.
