Baltimore converts two rec centers into temporary winter shelters for city’s homeless population
Baltimore has converted two of its recreation centers to provide temporary shelters for women and couples experiencing homelessness when wind chill temperatures hit freezing or below this winter.
Mayor Brandon Scott said in a news release that the Greenmount Recreation Center in the Barclay neighborhood and the Robert C. Marshall Recreation Center in the Upton neighborhood will now double as winter emergency shelters when a Winter Shelter Declaration has been issued.
