Press Release - Fairhaven Emergency Family Shelter

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The State’s Executive Office of Housing & Livable Communities (EOHLC) has notified the Town that the families being sheltered at the Seaport Resort & Marina in Fairhaven will begin to be transferred to an alternate facility outside of Fairhaven in the coming weeks.

The state advised the Town that this decision is part of a strategic initiative aimed at streamlining resources and enhancing the efficiency of services provided to those in need. The Seaport Resort & Marina site will no longer operate as a supplemental shelter after this transition.

We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of the Fairhaven community during this process. The Town also extends its appreciation to the various Town departments, leaders, community organizations and individuals that came together to assist with welcoming and supporting the families as they were placed in shelter. Their commitment underscores the strength of our community and its ability to come together to address the challenges faced by these families.

For further information or media inquiries, please contact The EOHLC at (617) 874-0126 or the Select Board office at (508) 979-4023, Ext. 2
