From Colorado-A Durango faith-based alliance is working to set up temporary day and night shelters to offer homeless residents a refuge next winter.
The Neighbors in Need Alliance plans to set up the shelters by November, said Caroline Kinser, an organizer with the group. The alliance was established this spring by volunteers from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church who are working with about 20 other churches on the effort.
The need for the shelters “had been simmering for a long time,” Kinser said.
The group came together after a harsh winter left some homeless residents camping in several feet of snow. The shelters would be open November through March and accept homeless residents with substance addictions, she said.
