House Of Friendship Shelter To Temporarily Close As Cold Weather Sets In
For the first time in its 82-year history, the House of Friendship shelter is set to temporarily close at the end of the month.
The shelter said it will halt operation on Nov. 30 after failing to find a new location to provide on-site medical services for its overcrowded occupants.
“House of Friendship’s former shelter building, a 12-bedroom house on Charles Street, is unfortunately not large enough to care for the nearly 100 participants the program is now supporting,” the shelter said in a news release.
