WESTAMPTON — Burlington County’s homeless and those who are at risk of losing their housing now have a single destination to go for help.
The county’s new Housing Hub opened Tuesday inside the Burlington County Human Services Building on Woodland Road and will serve as a single “point of entry” for residents.
“This is a huge leap forward for Burlington County and our fight to eliminate homelessness,” Freeholder Felicia Hopson said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the hub space, which includes offices for the hub’s director and social workers and a conference room where residents can meet with representatives from other county agencies and community service providers.
Volunteers from those providers will help staff the hub during weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After hours, residents in need of help can still call 211 for referrals.
