Johnson County homeless shelter can t meet the demand. Can these proposed laws help? Sarah Ritter, The Kansas City Star
Jan. 11 A line already stretched out the door last Wednesday, long before the homeless shelter opened for the night at a Lenexa church.
Volunteers greeted those waiting with temperature checks and a hot meal, and soon all 30 cots were accounted for. Within a couple of hours, staff had turned away nine more people seeking shelter.
