Belleville’s innovative homelessness outreach program expands
However, the friendly city has received recognition for an innovative program that seeks to bridge the gap between the unhoused and downtown businesses.Belleville has only one shelter but at last count, the municipality had approximately 200 unhoused individuals. Many of them had been experiencing difficulty connecting with services.
“Anything that they’re in need at that moment, even if it’s basic needs like getting a tent or a tarp or just some food, we help with all of that,” said Sara Behring the program’s coordinator.
