Summary
A beloved Warren, Michigan shelter that served 100-200 homeless people weekly has shut down for good, leaving dozens on the streets as its founder, Deloatch, couldn’t afford rent. Despite city council efforts—including a stalled plan to contract with nonprofits—the mayor hasn’t approved the funding solution. Councilman Jonathan Lafferty vows to push forward, even overriding a veto if needed, to ensure homeless services continue. Deloatch, undeterred, is already fundraising to reopen or find a new home before winter hits. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
