The vice mayor and councilor of the Area of Social Welfare Noelia Arroyo, said that “the cold monitoring and assistance device has been operating since December, in permanent coordination between the Department of Social Services and the NGOs of the municipality to ensure the attention of people who live in the street ”.
During these cold days, Arroyo explained that “the device has intensified, especially at night to meet those who need it and want to move to the qualified facilities where accommodation is offered.
Specifically, yesterday, 7 people were treated, of which only 3, chose to move to the Hospitality of Santa Teresa ”.
The rest of the people attended refused the service.
Keep in mind that many of these people have problems of strong uprooting, addictions and diseases.
