Homeless shelters throughout greater Cleveland are preparing for a balancing act between keeping people warm and trying to avoid adding to the COVID-19 crisis.
“For folks that are unsheltered and living on the streets, it can be life-threatening when the weather gets cold. Our community wants to be prepared to make sure they have options when they need them,” said Chris Knestrick, Executive Director of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless.“There’s no stopping it. West winds are bringing it in. It’s just a matter of time before we’re all in the teens and 20s.
According to Knestrick, there is a collaborative effort underway to add seasonal emergency shelters to accommodate those who typically don’t seek help.Since early 2020, there have been COVID protocols in place throughout to try limiting congregate settings, but Knestrick admits there is a challenge facing area shelters.
The City Mission, which has helped the homeless for more than 100 years in Cleveland, lists a series of changes on its website in response to COVID-19.
