Rhonda Sneed and people like her who advocate for Richmond's unhoused population continue to have serious concerns about how the City of Richmond plans to shelter families this winter.
Advocates for Richmond's homeless community said they're reaching a breaking point trying to find help for families and children who they claimed were falling through the cracks of the shelter system.
City Hall has followed through on expanding winter shelter in the Richmond area, but families with children still are being left out in the cold, the Free Press has confirmed.
Operators on Richmond’s Homeless Crisis Hotline are advising homeless adults with children that all shelter space reserved for them is full and that they should call back weekly to see if there is an opening.
