$200K Allocated For Warming Stations Is One Of The First Order Of Business By Gwinnett's New Commission Chair

Show Notes

www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com the proposed changes include $200,000 for warming stations, to help homeless residents find shelter when the temperatures dip below freezing.

Matthew Elder, the director of HomeFirst Gwinnett, said a partner had received a grant to pay staff at such a shelter overnight, after failing to find enough volunteers to do so as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

But Elder said he doesn’t think the one warming station he operates, near Norcross, is enough. Gwinnett is so large, and with limited accessibility on public transportation, there’s an opportunity for more services, he said.
