People who don't have a place to stay in Brandon are stocking up on tarps, tents and blankets or desperately searching for a couch in the hopes of having somewhere warm to spend the night if the city's only overnight shelter is full.
Brandon's Ask Auntie Blue Door Project, a daytime shelter that initially opened a year ago as a warm place for people to hang out during the day, is now adapting to meet the growing needs of a community in what advocates say is a housing crisis.
