With the arrival of winter and the imminent drop in temperatures, the Municipality of Naples has announced a plan of extraordinary interventions to protect the most vulnerable people in the city. Through the strengthening of reception facilities and the distribution of emergency kits, the Administration aims to offer shelter and assistance to the homeless during the coldest months.
Among the main measures, the Common has set up 18 new beds at the First Reception Center on Via de Blasiis, which are in addition to those already available.

In via Tanucci 9, near the shower area, toilets have been set up 20 beds for night reception. Here, guests can also use the shower service daily. For those who live outdoors, the Administration has prepared 1.500 first reception kits containing disposable towels, sheets and pillowcases, as well as an isothermal blanket to combat the cold. These kits will be distributed both by the Street Unit staff and to the Social Concierge Kiosk Bella Piazza, where it will be possible to request a place in night shelter.
Cold Plan Activation
The extraordinary reception places provided for in the framework of the Cold Plan 2024-2025 will be operational starting from 1 December 2024. The Councilor for Social Policies, Luca Fella Trapanese, underlined the importance of these interventions: The cold weather emergency is a humanitarian challenge that requires solidarity and concrete action, especially at this historic moment. In Naples, we are committed to providing hospitality, shelter, and human warmth to the homeless, offering them real support to face the winter. No one should be left alone in the cold: together, we can make a difference and turn aid into hope.
