LOWELL — The city of Lowell rolled out another tool in its homeless enforcement kit and started fining local organizations for the trash and vagrancy found on their private property generated by homeless people. And they started with Eliot Church on Summer Street. Charly Ott, the director of operations for the Eliot Church Day Center, found a sanitary code violation posted to the church’s front door. “The sanitary code inspector said, ‘I’m sorry I have to do this, but the [City] Manager [Tom Golden] has instructed me to fine the church for the minimum maintenance violation as listed on this document,’” Ott said by phone on Tuesday morning. Golden could not be reached for comment. The violation notice lists a $300-per-day fine, the first ever in the church’s history. But Ott said they simply don’t have the budget to care for the unhoused people and clean up the outside even as the staff tries to do both. The church, with St. Paul’s Kitchen, runs a day program that offers homeless people food and daytime shelter Monday through Friday, utilizing its Fellowship Hall and kitchen from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The church does not offer overnight shelter. “They want us to spend our time cleaning the yard rather than serving people with the resources that we have,” Ott said. “My staff is starting to crack.” The crackdown on the sanctuary’s services comes at a fraught time for the Day Center, which has seen the number of people it serves explode from 35 in 2020 to almost 200 people a day, while operating on the smaller budget. The center’s services were recently in danger of closing down due to the strain on the budget, temporarily alleviated by sacrifices by the staff. “We all took a 25% pay cut in order to be able to stay open past Nov. 1,” Ott said. There’s not only tension and stress in the nonprofit service community, but also on the street as pandemic funding evaporates, winter weather starts creeping in and more people are seeking services in Lowell. Eliot started its humanitarian mission in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when social distancing rules required extra community supports to help the city’s homeless population. That year, Eliot received a $200,000 Emergency Solutions COVID-related grant through the city from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the funds were used to launch the Day Center. But the end of COVID-era funding in March 2023 moved the population back out onto the streets. That summer, the number of unhoused people who call Lowell home jumped by a staggering 23% in just two months based on figures released by Director of Homeless Initiatives Maura Fitzpatrick. In July 2023, the office, which falls under the Department of Health and Human Services, counted 238 total adult homeless people in the city; by September, that number had risen to 291. A point-in-time count in January found nearly 300 unhoused people living in Lowell. Advocates say the number has grown even larger, with many of them calling the South Common Park on Summer Street, directly across the street from the church, home. By 2024, the 22.5-acre historic green space had become the city’s largest homeless encampment. On Nov. 12, the City Council passed an ordinance making it unlawful to camp on public property in the city of Lowell. The ordinance is enforceable through the Lowell Police Department and although no fines are assessed, violators can be moved along, have their belongings confiscated and be arrested. Many moved their belongings to private property like the small yard space that flanks Eliot Church’s perimeter, and with it, the debris and detritus that is commonly found with people who spend their lives outside. It’s that situation that ensnared Eliot Church in the city’s sanitation dragnet and a mounting daily fine. Eliot doesn’t have the money to pay it, Lori Hoffman said Tuesday afternoon. The longtime church member manages the books and other administrative responsibilities for the church, including managing the Day Center’s budget of $160,000 that is a mix of donations, state, federal and local funding and grants. “We cannot use many of our funds to pay the fine,” Hoffman said. “Not the church donations, the city [money], not the Parker Foundation or Cummings Foundation money. It comes out our operating budget.” Joyce Hughes’ roots to Eliot Church run deep. Her parents were married at the church and her family are lifelong members. She’s known Ott and Hoffman for years and calls the work to provide homeless services a sacred duty. Hughes took over as executive director of the Day Center when the Rev. Heather Doss, who founded the outreach program, left in April. “As Christians, we’re trying to help people and the city wants us to succeed at that,” Hughes said late Tuesday. “But then the building inspector has people complaining about the trash and has the sanitation inspector fine us because we don’t maintain our property.” She compared the constant trash pickup performed by the staff every day as “raking leaves in the wind.” “We can appeal, which of course we will,” she said. “I think it’s deplorable. Turning a blind eye isn’t helping and neither do fines. Let’s get them help or get them someplace that can help. Living on the streets isn’t helping them at all.”

Red Star Belgrade and Sturm Graz ended four-game losing runs in the Champions League to get their first points and wins on Wednesday. Red Star, the 1991 European Cup winner, rallied for a 5-1 rout of Stuttgart after the German team had taken the lead in the fifth minute. Sturm Graz won 1-0 against Girona, the Spanish newcomer to European competitions this season. Among the seven later games, Liverpool was taking the only perfect record in the competition into hosting Real Madrid and Aston Villa was hosting Juventus. Red Star’s goal to level the game in the 12th was scored by on-loan forward Silas, playing against his parent club . He started the season with Stuttgart in his sixth year with the Bundesliga club. The Congo international held up his hands as if in apology as part of a low-key celebration for the champion of Serbia. Sturm’s Danish forward Mika Biereth sealed the win in the 59th for just the second goal in the competition for the Austrian champion after five rounds. All four teams in early action stayed outside the qualifying places to advance to the knockout round, with Stuttgart best placed in 27th in the new 36-team standings format. The top eight teams in January go direct to the round of 16 in March, and teams placed from ninth to 24th enter a playoffs round in February. Those two-leg playoffs will decide the other eight round of 16 teams.
