A homeless shelter has now officially opened in Easton on Goldsborough Street in a former bed and breakfast.
Jack Harrald, president of the Talbot Interfaith Shelter’s board of directors, says that the permanent shelter will help people get through the winter.
There will be a room, a shower and laundry facilities as well as a person to help those interviewing for a job.
Right now, five people are staying at the shelter including a nine month old infant with room for ten more.
Meanwhile, a group of neighbors, who oppose the shelter, has asked for a stay until an appeals process can be completed.
A decision is expected by the end of the month.
