How to help people facing homelessness this winter is the topic of Thursday’s Facebook Live
Updated Dec 17, 2020;
Local social service agencies that provide help to homeless people in our area are sounding the alarm.

The statistics, indeed, are bleak, with the threat of even more suffering ahead. PennLive reporter Ivey DeJesus and John Luciew spent weeks looking into the situation for homeless people in our region, and the news is far from good.
