Northland homeless shelters are seeing more encampments throughout the community and shelters are also starting to fill up as people look for a warm place to stay safe.
Places like the Rainbow Warming Center, CHUM, and the Ruth House in Superior are doing everything they can to help. Today is the annual Point in Time Count, where all shelters across St. Louis County will be counting overnight guests to help better understand homelessness in the community. It s not a choice that we made or wanted. We are just dealing with it the best way we can. There s other people out there that are homeless that don t have as much as we have. We are lucky that we have a heater and stuff, said Sharon Norris, a veteran who is homeless in Duluth. She lives in a encampment she built with a friend in West Duluth.
