Phoenix City Council approved more beds in local homeless shelters and employees are welcoming this change with hope and optimism.
The decision was made earlier this month to increase the number of beds at Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), property of the Human Services Campus, by 275, and workers are ready to bring more people safely off of the streets and into their shelter.
Mary Glennon, the Director of Programs at CASS, said that her employees are generally not concerned by the increased capacity of residents.
