In a motion seeking to provide decent living conditions for hundreds of homeless people in the Greek capital, the Athens municipality on Wednesday opened the doors of a new shelter, the Homeless Centre, which can host up to 400 people, ANA reports.
Based on a municipality announcement, the new facility is housed in three adjoining buildings at the corner of Acharnon and Liossion Streets, which will be open throughout the day and have a staff of doctors, care workers, nurses, social workers, and psychologists.
At the Day Centre, which offers showers and washing machines, homeless people can wash their clothes and take showers, while there are also places where they can store their personal belongings and internet rooms, TV rooms and a dining area. In the dormitory, the homeless can find a safe place to sleep without bureaucratic procedures and can stay at the hostel as long as they need, until they are once again integrated into society.
