Would be a good time for this story to go national. Give the many who think they can come up in the summer and stay the winter without planning ahead a reality check.

There was a commenter a few weeks ago bragging about her elderly disabled brother coming up from Florida. He was certain he would be put in the front of the line for services.

If that man knew about the wait list, the winter months with unreliable shelter space, freezing on the streets he might be warm in sunny Florida right now.
