Groundworks Collaborative, a local agency for people who are hungry or without housing, is set to receive help from other providers this month as it regroups after last week’s killing of a shelter coordinator.
“It is clear that our entire staff needs a pause in order to come together to grieve, work together toward healing and figure out our way forward,” executive director Josh Davis said in a written statement.
Groundworks runs the 30-bed Morningside House shelter on Royal Road, where social worker Leah Rosin-Pritchard was murdered — allegedly by a resident — April 3.
The nonprofit also operates a daytime drop-in center and 34-bed overnight shelter on South Main Street and the region’s most-used food shelf, located on Canal Street.
