Newark Hope Village: City converts shipping containers to house homeless, at-risk residents

The facility of seven containers will shelter 24 homeless individuals from the Penn Station corridor. The containers have been converted into code-compliant modular residences and consist of dorm-style rooms, as well as two utility structures with private shower rooms and a multipurpose structure.

I wouldn’t want to associate myself with city officials who lack compassion, empathy, and kindness.
