## Resource

Second Light is asking Wichita for $5 million over three years to expand beds for people exiting homelessness—100 for active recovery, 30 for immediate shelter—with demand far outpacing supply. City Council members unite on tackling homelessness, with Councilman Joseph Shepard urging volunteers to support existing programs first. Long-term funding will require state, county, and private contributions, as city funds alone won’t suffice. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
