A new shelter opened in Rochester to help homeless men, filling a gap left by closed facilities.
A new low-barrier shelter, La Madonna Della Strada, opened in Rochester on October 15, offering up to 25 beds for homeless men, operated in partnership with Open Door Mission.
The shelter, named in honor of 90-year-old nun Sister Grace Miller, who is in hospice, fills a gap left by the closure of Project Haven and changes at the House of Mercy, which Miller founded.
Funded by a $100,000 donation, the one-year partnership aims to serve those often excluded from traditional shelters, including people with substance use issues.
The move comes amid a rising homelessness crisis, with 1,194 people experiencing homelessness in the region—the highest count since 2007.
Open Door Mission continues operating its Plymouth Avenue site, while the new shelter focuses on compassionate, barrier-free care.
