The Night Shelter, located in East La Penitence, last Friday marked two decades since it opened its doors to provide temporary refuge for the homeless.

According to the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security (MHS&SS), the Shelter, located at Arapaima Street, has expanded its services to offer patient care assistance to the indigent.

Commenting on the milestone, Minister of Human Services and Social Security Dr Vindhya Persaud underscored the need for continuous infrastructural works and “delivery of health care and disability friendly services”.
