The City of New Bedford’s Homeless Service Provider’s Network (HSPN) created this “Street Sheet” to identify important resources available to you—where to get a meal, how to find shelter and where to call for help that you need right now.
Some providers or programs may have changed since the last update of this webpage.
Please check with the agency to verify their current service capabilities/offerings.
