FARGO (KFGO/KVRR) — The new location for Fargo’s winter warming initiative is open in the Fargo Cass Public Health building on 25th Street S. for people experiencing homelessness
The center is set up “airport style,” meaning there are chairs but no beds. There will be a television and areas where people can store their belongings, or sit and eat.
Space will be limited and should be considered a last resort for people who have little to no other options.
“They can watch TV. There will be food that will be one meal here, probably in the morning or at some point,” Fargo Cass Public Health Director Jenn Faul said.
“We’re able to carry over many of the practices just in a space that’s a little bit more conducive to the environment we want to create. It has some amenities that are helpful in serving our guests. And just, again, giving that Engagement Center a little bit of a break,” Chandler Esslinger, Fargo Cass Public Health Community Liaison, said.
The warming center will be staffed seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
