With excessive heat making it extremely uncomfortable in Hudson County, County Executive Craig Guy has announced a cooling center has opened for unsheltered, homeless individuals countywide, with bus service to the Kearny facility for those who need a place to stay cool.
The Kearny location will provide medical services for those who experience health conditions exasperated by the heat. The Cooling Center is now active through September 15th and it may be extended if the forecast calls for temperatures above 95 degrees.
“Hudson County is committed to providing the shelter and services our vulnerable populations need to stay cool and safe,” said Hudson County Executive, Craig Guy. “It’s no secret that these dangerous temperatures can result in illness, especially for those with health conditions that are exasperated by extremely hot weather. These locations will provide medical services, food, and a place to escape the heat.”
The daytime Cooling Center is located at the Naval Reserve Facility in the Town of Kearny, will be operated by Collaborative Support Programs of NJ (CSPNJ), and will operate between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. during the summer months.
