It started on November 27, 2023 and remained active until April 28, making it possible to provide winter hospitality to over 300 people who live in extreme marginalization, are in a state of poverty and are homeless, with the provision of a total of 278 beds. In fact, among the Venetian cities of the same size, the city of Verona is the one with the greatest number of places and services dedicated to reception.
A service of the Municipality of Verona on which the municipal administration is constantly engaged and which, during the winter just ended, saw an increase in the actions implemented to expand availability as much as possible. Actions which have in fact materialized in the structuring of additional beds, as well as in the intensification of territorial monitoring interventions to activate the safety measures for the most vulnerable people on the streets.
The municipal administration and, in agreement with it, the city’s third sector bodies, have made 82 additional beds available (77 for men and 5 for women), a number which was further integrated with 17 male places in the month of January, to face the coldest period of the season.
“Verona confirms itself as a welcoming city that is attentive to the needs of many people who live in serious difficulty”, underlines the councilor for social policies Luisa Ceni.
