By Adam Swift A 24-bed facility proposed for 84 Arcadia Street will help provide services for homeless people in Revere, and falls under a specific zoning ordinance relative to restorative and educational houses, according to Revere attorney Gerry D'Ambosio, who represents the Oak Island developers of the property. However, neighbors state that a dead end street in a residential neighborhood is not a suitable location for what is being proposed. The facility will be operated as a non-profit, and Boston-based Bay Cove Human Services will provide services for those at the facility, which targets the existing homeless population of Revere, according to the attorney.
