La Colaborativa plans to open a new day shelter Tuesday in Chelsea to provide services for up to 200 people.as immigrants and existing residents struggle to find or afford housing.
The new shelter will offer meals and space for families and individuals, operating during business hours on weekdays only. The center will provide other resources, too, such as help obtaining food, clothing and other needs, according to a news release from United Way of Massachusetts Bay, which administered state grant funds to support the shelter.
Sarah Bartley, vice president of United Way's safe and stable housing program, said the day shelter is particularly needed since the Cambridge state shelter has limited hours.She said United Way already has used the $5 million grant to fund eight other shelters that stay open around the clock. Those shelters can fit up to 97 families. She said the organization also expects to help create additional sites with the state funding.
"We really want to see these sites be able to continue to make a contribution," she said."We don't know exactly what each site is going to look like."
