The city of Columbia is launching the “Peace of Mind" initiative that will provide safe resting spaces for first responders, medical professionals, and front line city staff.
City leaders and the Columbia Police Foundation have partnered with several local hotels, who have provided rooms so COVID-19 responders will have safe resting spaces for them outside of their house for free.
Funds for the “Peace of Mind” program were raised through private donations. The money, facilitated through the Columbia Police Foundation, will be used to pay for the room costs.
Current hotels participating in the program are:
- Aloft - Lady St
- Holiday Inn - Washington St
- Lexington Wingate Inn - I-20 & 378
- Hampton Inn & Suites - Gervais St
- Home 2 Suites - Gervais St
- Hilton Garden Inn - Gervais St
