Homeless services site in the neighborhood

Open a homeless shelter or at least a day program in this area, since the nearest shelters are over four miles away.

The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

I would like there to see a homeless services site in this area. There is nothing for homeless people in the area- shelters are more than 4 miles away. Cambridge has closer shelters, but not for Boston residents. Ideally shelter but even day programs

Who it helps and why

Many of the people I have seen who were homeless in this area are black/ latino men
