Hermes Boat in Prague Provides Shelter for Homeless Amid Housing Crisis
DEFENSE
The Hermes boat in Prague has been repurposed as a shelter for the city's homeless since February 2007, accommodating 160-180 individuals amid a severe housing crisis affecting over 154,000 people in the Czech Republic. Captain Jaromir Cervenka, a former homeless individual, oversees the facility, which offers essential amenities. A new housing support law and initiatives from the Salvation Army aim to further assist those in need.
