## Resource

Wichita’s scorching heat is turning deadly for the unhoused, as shelters like Second Light strain under demand and lines stretch for days. With temperatures soaring, people like Michael Tomlinson are forced to seek shade in parks, while others, like Perry Hannah, suffer life-threatening heat strokes. Despite outreach efforts by Wichita Police to hand out water and connect folks with services, the crisis grows — and every minute without shelter could be fatal.
