City's homeless have new shelter

"Day center" opens near train station

October 31st, 2007 issue

A new day center for homeless people has opened close to the main train station, according to Mladá fronta Dnes newspaper.

The new center is run by the nonprofit charity group Naděje (Hope). About 2,000 homeless people are in Prague, according to city hall figures, but the number can double in the winter, according to groups that work with homeless people.

"People have no idea how many homeless people they actually meet. If a homeless person is clean wearing clean clothes, you cannot really tell that he has no home, " says Ladislav Varga, the head of the new day center.
