Salisbury Police Chief Barbara Duncan said, “Please reach out to the Police Department if you come across someone you believe to be homeless, so that we may help get them to safe shelter and out of the cold.”

Women and children can go freeze to death, however.

That is not true. Halo takes women and children and so does the Christian Shelter and The Village of Hope.
Perhaps the article should have mentioned where women and children can go. I had a thought similar to the previous poster.
Women are supposed to turn to prostitution?
why does it say adult males only?
Thot the same. What about women? Article states clearly, MEN ONLY.
Ireton has no use for women, or didn't anyone tell you?
I'm female (thought I would mention that). As far a sheltering the homeless....THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I!!
