A new foster home is opening in Geneva. The Salvation Army has transformed its three-star Bel’Espérance hotel, located in the Old Town, into a shelter for vulnerable women. While associations regularly warn of the saturation of reception structures, the organization is creating 50 additional places: 30 are intended for homeless women and are financed by the Geneva municipalities within the framework of the cantonal law on assistance to people. homeless (LAPSA).
