Beat the Heat: A Lifeline for Berlin's Unhoused Arrives Sunday

Warmth relief for homeless individuals in Berlin commences - Winter relief effort: Warming stations for homeless recognized in Berlin

Let's face it, summertime in Berlin ain't always a walk in the park, especially for those cushioning concrete instead of green grass. But fear not, my fellows, as heat relief for our city's homeless folks is about to drop like a heatwave on a scorching day. And it's all thanks to Social Senator Cansel Kiziltepe (SPD) flipping the switch on this much-needed relief on Sunday.

So, where can these folks seek solace from the blazing sun and the suffocating temperatures? Special facilities will serve as their bunkers against the blistering heat. Better yet, social workers will be roaming the streets, doling out what every homeless person needs most: hydration and adequate sun protection.

"The heat can be a real killer, especially for those living out on the street," Kiziltepe emphasized. "With our heat relief program, we're ensuring swift and effective services to vulnerable individuals, from handing out water bottles and sunscreen to opening cooler spaces like churches." A whopping 300,000 euros has been set aside for these services.

Now, it's time for Berliners to step up and keep their eyes peeled. Watch out for our less fortunate brethren basking in the sun without protection, who may need a helping hand.
