McLean County will consider providing more funding to help keep the homeless out of the cold this winter.
The County Board is scheduled to vote at its regular meeting Thursday on a proposal to give up to $48,000 dollars to the PATH Crisis Center in Bloomington to pay for hotel stays for those who can t get into a homeless shelter.
“As bad as this weather has been, we don’t want anybody to be out in this cold and die because of a lack of funding,” County Board Chairman John McIntyre said.
PATH Crisis Center Executive Director Karen Zangerle told members of the County Board’s Executive Committee on Monday the agency had exhausted all its emergency housing funding this winter because the pandemic has limited available shelter beds.
