SHE SAYS THOSE INCIDENTS DON’T HAPPEN OFTEN, AND FAMILIES STAYING THERE HAVE LOCKED, PRIVATE SAFE ROOMS.
CITY COUNCILMAN DAN MOORE ALSO SPOKE, AND STATED THAT WHILE THE CITY HAS COMMITTED TO SUPPORT THE WARMING SHELTER, THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY WILL GIVE THE SHELTER $150-THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH YEAR GOING FORWARD:
