Colorado Springs’ shelters and ad hoc warming centers accommodated nearly 900 homeless people who sought to escape Sunday night’s subzero temperatures.
The 352 people that hundreds of Hope COS volunteers removed from outdoor camps and under bridges and transported to emergency overnight centers inside three local churches set a record, the organization’s founder Melissa Oskin said Monday.
“It’s just about double what we had as a high before that,” she said.
