Potential solutions for gun violence in Richmond were shared with hopeful and current city leadership Monday evening during a roundtable at Third Street Bethel AME Church.
Richmond is rated by the National Weather Service as a storm-ready community.
But when Tropical Storm Ophelia was about to hit, the city’s emergency shelter seemed less than prepared to provide a refuge for people like Robert Harrison, 23, and Ron Thomas, 38, who are homeless.
Homeless advocates took to council chambers Tuesday during a public safety committee meeting to speak out against the city's storm response as it pertained to sheltering homeless people.
