SOMERSWORTH The Tri-Cities’ new emergency warming center served nine people during a bitter, snow-swept first night Wednesday.
While people sheltered at the 30 Willand Drive center said they appreciated the reprieve, they also said it served to remind them the greater Seacoast area still lacks more permanent and direct strategies to address causes of the region’s homelessness crisis.
“This is doing nothing but stopping them from dying,” said Christopher Smart, a 35-year-old Dover resident who was among the first to arrive when the center opened at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Dover, Somersworth and Rochester created the regional center, operating it with Strafford County’s arm of the Integrated Delivery Network and help from local social service agencies and volunteers, to provide a walk-in, overnight facility during periods of life safety risk and extreme cold weather emergencies.
