ServiceNet Tackles Homelessness in the Greenfield Area

Stephen Karpovich, Program Director at ServiceNet, says this past January ServiceNet’s shelter in Greenfield experienced the biggest overflow of homeless individuals he has seen in his sixteen years working there.

According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, about 1,200 individuals across Massachusetts experienced chronic homelessness in 2017. A few residents at ServiceNet’s Greenfield shelter talked about how they became homeless, the challenges they face when the weather turns brutally cold, and how ServiceNet helps them get back on their feet.
