Many homeless people know the place of the Temporary Shelter for Homeless People located in the backyard of Yerevan Boarding-house #1. It is known as the best – and for some, only – place where street people find winter shelter.
A guest is allowed two months' stay at the shelter, which has been providing such relief since 2006. In addition to a place to sleep, the needy are given three meals a day, a place to bathe and television. The shelter can accommodate up to 60.
"We are physically unable to receive more than 60 people, because we have a problem with placement of beds in the rooms," Hayk Poghosyan, Director of the Temporary Shelter for Homeless People told ArmeniaNow.
