It is about two weeks from Thanksgiving and shelters across the metro Detroit area like COTS Peggy's Place are full. This is at a time when the number of people in need is through the roof.
Founded in 1946, it is the largest nationwide service organization of Black Women in America with more than 300 chapters, six of which are here in Metro Detroit.
The number of people without housing is growing and there are not enough beds in shelters.
“We’re literally maxed out,” said Cheryl Johnson from COTS-Peggy's Place.
