The La Sirena hostel in San Sebastian will provide permanent services to those in need of this service

The municipal hostel in Ondarreta has so far had a predominantly tourist use, although in recent years it has been closed to the general public during the winter months and has taken advantage of it to accommodate people on the street, but only at nights when temperatures have been around 0 ° C.

The La Sirena hostel in Donostia-San Sebastián will be permanently transformed into a service centre for vulnerable immigrants and people on the streets, according to Euskadi Irratia.  

The idea is that on Monday the City Council committee will take the decision forward, and the municipal government made up of jeltzales and socialists has sufficient support for it.

Themunicipal hostel, located in Ondarreta, has so far had a predominantly tourist use, although in recent years it has been closed to the general public during the winter months and has been used to accommodate people on the street, but only at nights when temperatures have been around 0 ° C.

From now on, however, tourism will be completely closed, and the Department of Social Action of the City of San Sebastián will take over its management. In this regard, it will be an area adapted to immigrants and those on the street, as confirmed to Euskadi Irratia by municipal government sources.

The decision comes at the beginning of the first evictions in the pavilions of the late Zardoya Otis in Herrera, where the City Council plans to develop a 380 housing project.
