Reply to comment by the_falconator in Homeless express concerns over sanitary issues inside Cranston Street Armory by the_falconator

>I think a big problem with the Cranston St facility is that many of the people that are staying there are people that have been kicked out of other shelters for the issues you bring up. Fighting, sexual assaults, drug use in the shelter.

I saw an interview on the news with the guy running this place. He made it very clear that this is not a shelter, they don't have the resources to be a shelter, and its only purpose is to allow people in for a short period of time so they don't get hypothermia out in the cold.

It's basically running as a shelter. People are living in there, they only call it a warming shelter to get around the more stringent regulations that a shelter has to follow.
