Just like other big cities, Salisbury is a victim of growth, both good and bad. The big question is, have they prepared for such a thing? I've been to many a council meetings and I do not ever recall anyone discussing the homeless and who might care for them. All I can say is, it was pretty darned cold out there last night. It's time to go from the 3rd floor down to the ground floor!
If only that had been a bald eagle, Joe might have housed him. Guess it's all a matter of priorities.
ReplyDeleteThere's an emergency shelter program from January to March that is hosted by various churches. It is at St. Francis de Sales right now, I think St. Peter's is onthe list, maybe Bethesda UM Church and others. That's in addition to the regular Christian Shelter and Urban Ministries, and I guess Joseph House shelter. It's a pretty big deal to host one of these things. It's a lot more than just a matter of offering someone a bed. There's food, and security and all kinds of other issues. People are trying. It's overwhelming.
