Homeless Shelter At Full Capacity
KENTUCKY...
When you think of homeless people, it's possible you think of Washington, DC, or maybe Chicago. You can save the mental traveling…think of Pikeville. There's a homeless shelter in the county seat of Pike County. And, it's at full capacity. The weather appears to be the main motivation…it's brutal and extremely dangerous. Pike County Health Department officials are advising that one hour should be the maximum time to be outside in the current sub-freezing temperatures. Hypothermia is a killing condition, and the body can tolerate it for only a short time. If you are homeless, no one will be turned away from the Westcare Homeless Shelter. Here's the number…432-9442.
