Those dangerously low temperatures make it hard for those without shelter to survive.
Tennessee Homeless Solutions Executive Director Amy McDonald says the daytime temperatures this weekend will also be extremely low, so they are making adjustments for the homeless in Madison County to have shelter.
“We will have everyone transported to non-congregate shelter so that way they will be sheltered all day and all night through the weekend, but we will be there at the Civic Center for any new intakes,” McDonald said.
That means they will be able to serve women, children and families. The Carl Perkins Civic Center will be open every night for check-ins from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m.
