Arrels Fundació

The Arrels Fundació (Foundation) focuses on reducing long-term homelessness and vulnerability in Barcelona. It has a drop-in centre, known as the Centre Obert or Centro Abierto, in the centre of Barcelona, on Carrer Riereta, in the Raval district close to Las Ramblas. In addition it organises street teams who help identify people in need on the street. The organisation maintains a good, up-to-date overview of the places available for homeless people, or people in need of emergency food, clothing or welfare support.
