Keeping warmer centers open 24/7 comes with challenges. Author: Monica Coleman (ABC10) Updated: 8:54 PM PST March 10, 2021
SACRAMENTO, Calif. A $3 million plan to keep overnight shelters open year-round regardless of the temperature outside passed unanimously Tuesday by the Sacramento City Council. However, making the plan is only the first step.
Carol Herbert runs the warming center at Sacramento Capitol City Seventh-day Adventist Church and says they are nowhere near being able to open 24/7 like Mayor Steinberg s plan suggests.
“24/7, I think, would be too much especially if the church reopens,” Herbert explained.
Herbert says she only has four volunteers on her team to operate the overnight warming center and would need a fully paid staff to be open all day and all night.
