WHAT'S NEW

BFHP continuing to focus on needs of our clients

Here at Berkley Food and Housing Project, we are thinking of all clients, staff, and BFHP members in the communities we serve and the world as we navigate day to day through the COVID-19 epidemic.

During this time, BFHP is continuing our focus on the needs of our vulnerable clients. The current public health epidemic has placed our clients at a higher risk and we are doing everything we can to support them in a timely manner. This support includes keeping our Dwight Way shelter open 24/7 with increased staffing, continuing our daily community meal, and crucial on-going health and wellness check-ins. Additionally, Team Hope and the Roads Home Team (our veterans teams in 6 counties) is also working closely with local government to identify and place people into the hotel occupancies currently leased by the state.
