Unfortunately, shelter is presently full to overflow and last month was highest usage (bed-nights) in the shelter's 20+-year history. Today we turned away 5 people just in my 4-hour volunteer stint. This is a small town (about 30,000 people, though we serve a wider rural county).
Same day, the local housing authority announced that budget cuts force layoffs & decreased services.
More cuts coming. Unemployment here about 7-8%.
The same week, I read the oil companies are showing historical record profits.
Something is really messed up.
