Many People are working in Carnegie Community Centre With the doors closed due to the pandemic, organisations in the neighbourhod are adapting to continue providing essential services. The Women's Centre, the Evelyne Sailer Centre, First United, Aboriginal Front Door, Union Gospel, Eastside Works, PHS and mort( are as 'open' as health restrictions permit. Inside is reprinted a list of things available, cur-rentto mid-April.
Carnegie kitchen is heroic in providing meals 3 times a day, all for $2. There is movement on opening hundreds of unused hotel rooms for people needing housing and space to self-isolate. This is a temporary appeasement to help the most vulnerable, though not a solution. Homelessness and the chronic shortage of decent housing are ongoing. Parks and sidewalks cannot be seen as 'good enough' for people. Building needed housing has to be a priority.
