Poor People United Continues the Fight for Hypothermia Shelter
Primary tabs
January 13, 2004. On Monday members of Poor People United met with members of the County Legislature, Red Cross, DHHS and other organizations. The goal of this meeting was to arrange a comprehensive plan on how to make sure the homeless have shelter during the coldest parts of the year. Unfortunately, things have not gone according to plan for PPU. Charles Kellum, Dave Cox and Claire Olson, members of PPU, wanted to see the creation of a permanent hypothermia shelter this winter to serve a sub-population of homeless that are left out in the cold by DHHS and other organizations.
