A date for the opening of a drop-in shelter for the homeless on the ground floor of the Centre for Socially Displaced Persons at the Riverside Plaza car park, Port of Spain, is yet to be established.
However, Port of Spain mayor, Joel Martinez, expects work to begin soon after the Homeless Assistance Office, to be located in the same space, is completed by the NGO’s founder, Anthony Salloum.
