Any word on the woman? Is she ok?

Reading the article, I find it quite remarkable that they will send people away into the cold because they are full, rather than setting up emergency cots in the hallway or common areas so they are inside. I am not a homeless shelter worker, but it just seems idiotic to have people outside when you can squeeze people in to get warm. Can anyone explain this to me

They have an emergency max number that they cannot go beyond - firecodes and whatnot. They've been near max for most of the summer.

Also, there are overnight warming shelters - no cots, but chairs, warmth, and the ability to flex numbers that she also could have been brought to.
