Homeless rise as cold snaps push shelter use up
Salvation Army Major Murray Jaster reports a sharp weekly increase in homeless shelter use as freezing temperatures drive more men, roughly ages 30s and 40s, to seek beds. He cites unemployment, medical and mental health issues, addictions, and lack of community support as drivers. Community funding for intensive services and group housing is urged.
