Thanks to a grant of over $2.5 million spread out over 10 years, Harbor Homes of Martha’s Vineyard is in the market for a permanent emergency shelter to better serve the Island’s homeless population.
Following a vote by the regional high school committee, the Vineyard’s winter homeless shelter is moving to the former early childhood building at Martha’s Vineyard Community Services.
Overnight shelter beds will become available next month for Islanders who are homeless or without heat, but locations have been secured for only six nights a week and there’s no place yet for a daytime warming center.
