HUDSON COUNTY — With only one cooling station available to homeless in Hudson County – and that located in Hoboken — the administration of Hudson County is seeking to find ways to open more, with the expected temperatures to exceed 100 degrees over the next week or more.
Homeless activists complained that the cooling station at the Hoboken shelter is not accessible to the homeless who are in other parts of the county.
Freeholder Chairman Bill O’Dea said he had contacted County Administrator Abe Antun in an attempt to find more stations elsewhere in the county. Journal Square area has the largest homeless population in the county, according to some activists.
