As the air turns colder and our county gears up for inclement weather and code-blue shelter, I’m thankful to live in – and serve – a community that intentionally stretches resources and fosters collaboration between partners to help those without homes. On Dec. 6, we will celebrate the expansion of the shelter at Grassroots Crisis Center, which will provide thousands of additional and much-needed shelter bed nights each year. The Grassroots shelter gives people a place to stay as they work with Bridges and other partners in our Coordinated Homeless System to find housing.
