Bergen County NJ homeless shelter survived COVID using motel rooms


An assembly line of double-masked volunteers gathered recently in Hackensack to stuff cookies, apples and water bottles into plastic grocery bags, knot them and add them to a growing pile of meals. The only sign the room used to house the homeless was a lone bunk bed and cot pushed against the wall. 
The Bergen County Housing, Health and Human Services Center had operated a homeless shelter in this space since 2009, with 90 beds and room to accommodate 15 more people in the winter months. 
But on April 15, 2020, leaders closed the shelter after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
So many people living in proximity to each other would have made the shelter a potential breeding ground for the rapidly spreading virus, so the county transported residents to four nearby motels, contracting with Christ Church Community Development Corporation. ....

Edith Guffey, Lawrence resident and conference minister for the United Church of Christ Kansas-Oklahoma Conference, gave the keynote address at Justice Matters virtual Martin Luther King Jr. event on Jan. 18.
Lawrence isn’t an island, Edith Guffey repeated during her keynote address at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event on Monday.
There is this idea that the city is special, she said a “progressive blue dot” and that it is somehow different from other parts of the state in how it handles social justice issues. But that’s not the case, said Guffey, who is a Lawrence resident and a conference minister for the United Church of Christ Kansas-Oklahoma Conference. ....

Deacon Godsey, the co-president of Justice Matters, said the group hosted a series of listening sessions in the fall of 2020 where hundreds of community members gathered in Zoom meetings to talk about what issues and injustices they see in the Lawrence community.
