In addition to the expansion of places in shelters, the new announcement is the launch of overnight stays, aimed at temporarily welcoming homeless people at night, from 7pm to 7am, every day, including weekends and holidays. There, they will be able to spend the night and sleep in rooms with clean beds, do personal hygiene, take a shower, in addition to having access to two meals a day (dinner and breakfast), services and benefits from the social assistance policy and other areas, such as health, education, work and income.
The opening of overnight stays was already planned, as announced by the Secretary of Social Development, Ana Paula Marra, in March, during the launch of the Federal District Government’s (GDF) action plan to welcome homeless people.
“The overnight stay will ensure that homeless people have dignity, a safe and clean place to sleep at night. It is an option to serve those people who do not accept traditional care and ensure that they have access to social assistance rights and benefits. In these overnight units, they will be able to eat their meals and will be accompanied by professionals who restore the citizen’s autonomy”, explains the manager.
The new institutional reception spaces will serve adults, between 18 and 59 years old, with people and families in different compositions, including children, adolescents and elderly people, in addition to specific groups, such as indigenous people, refugees, international migrants and other specific groups.
In the case of the institutional shelter, according to the notice, the service will be aimed at adults and families in social vulnerability who require shelter without predetermined length of stay, offering four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. Reception is carried out to facilitate the process of leaving homelessness and/or the personal and social strengthening of the user through individual and group care, in addition to articulation with the social assistance protection network and rights guarantee system.
“With these two thousand new reception places, we will further strengthen our social protection network and guarantee rights for the homeless population. It is important to highlight that the expansion of the service will also serve different audiences, including migrants and indigenous people”, reiterates Ana Paula Marra.
Currently, Headquarters has 862 reception places in halfway houses for adults and families in 17 indirect execution units and two direct execution units installed in various parts of the Federal District.
