Modena to launch nighttime Drop-in center pilot program

A one-year experimental program will launch on December 1 in Modena to provide nighttime services at the Drop-in center located at via Benassi 21. The initiative coincides with the activation of extraordinary beds as part of a winter reception program.

The service aims to offer monitoring and support for vulnerable individuals managed by the daytime center. The experiment involves near-continuous operation from 7:00 PM until 4:00 PM the following day, with scheduled breaks for sanitization and managed entry/exit windows between 9:00 PM and 9:30 PM, and from 9:00 AM onwards.

The decision follows requests from the District 2 Council to improve support for those struggling with drug addiction and to address issues related to micro-criminality by ensuring users are not left on the streets after facility closures.
