Record number of homeless people slept last cold winter night in the Utrecht shelter locations

Record number of homeless people slept last cold winter night

Utrecht previously expressed concern about the increase in the number of homeless people. It was feared that there would be too few beds in the winter shelter. Despite the fact that it is busy at the reception locations, Mohammed, an employee at the Zeehaenkade, says that as far as he knows, everyone has been able to get a place. “One does not have to sleep on the street.” But is it also possible to reach all homeless people? “The boys all know each other and inform each other about the shelter and the cold weather arrangement.”
