The St. Francis Center has expressed an interest in a future redevelopment on Curtis Street.
The city paid $9 million for the former Stay Inn. It now wants someone else to turn it into supportive housing.
The Fairfield Inn fetched less than it did in 2006.
City officials are unable to provide a timeline for occupancy of the furnished hotel.

More than 300 firms applied for the grants, which were for either $7,500 or $15,000.
$1 million is available. At least four breweries applied, along with a hostel, an architecture firm and other businesses.
They are the city’s third and fourth hotel deals since August.
Three of the properties are privately owned. Two are in the Golden Triangle. One is home to a library branch.
