Shelter is FULL.

It’s not a surprise, but the homeless shelter for families is full. And so is the over-flow Warming Shelter. Check out the numbers.

In the last 19 days . . .
– The over-flow shelter has had 3 – 7 families in it per night
– The over-flow shelter has had 9 – 19 individuals stay per night
– There were only 5 nights it was not at or over capacity, 74% of the time it was at or over capacity.
