Addressing Homelessness
To address homelessness, Katjana’s administration
- Created the city’s first overnight warming centers with cots, and access to services for unhoused persons
- Funded a new day-time Engagement Center to expand services for unhoused persons
- The Engagement Center is thriving, and this year, I am happy to announce that next week, we will be opening Somerville’s first City-sponsored seasonal overnight warming center.
- Our new warming center will be open not just for a handful of nights but for the winter. Somerville is a community that understands we need to keep our unsheltered residents warm and connected to resources
