## Resource

After a deadly police shooting turned a busy Madison intersection into a makeshift community for unhoused residents, city officials are now offering hotel vouchers to clear the area — a move that’s sparked debate. While the gesture brings much-needed services like food and restrooms, many say it’s too little, too late, and that the real solution lies in affordable housing and landlords willing to give people a second chance. The tragedy may have forced action, but advocates fear this is just temporary relief — unless systemic change follows, winter could be even harder for those left behind.
