« Woonsocket detective not guilty of abusing son | Today | 5 R.I. Guardsmen to be awarded Bronze Stars » March 29, 200750 new beds available at mission for the homelessPROVIDENCE — The Providence Rescue Mission, a faith-based shelter on Cranston Street, has added 50 beds to its facility, enough room to accommodate men who have been sleeping on the floors of Crossroads Rhode Island and Harrington Hall, a shelter for the homeless in Cranston. The shelter will open its doors for men only tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. It is located at 627 Cranston St. Noreen Shawcross, Governor Carcieri’s chief of housing and community development, said the mission stepped forward last summer, when state officials began planning for the closing of Welcome Arnold House, which was the state’s largest shelter. That shelter closed for good on March 15 to make way for a new state police headquarters. Clients were directed to stay in smaller, community-based shelters, but the transition was not entirely smooth. Advocates for the homeless have held protests to argue that Governor Carcieri's plan did not provide enough beds. -- Journal staff writer Linda Borg Posted by Kate Bramson Commentsann | March 29, 2007 6:37 PM link May God Bless Sean Carew & his caring staff at the Providence Rescue Mission. This team seeks to help those in need by nourishing the soul as well as the body. The closing of AWH may be a blessing in disguise for those who will be tended to by these caring people. This cerainly is what Jesus would do. debi | April 7, 2007 7:48 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published.

Are the residents of homeless shelters helped to get permanent housing? I would think this is a temporary situation but from what I've read most of these people make these shelters their permanent home! Any thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
