Houston-area homeless outreach groups have been taking to the streets to prepare the region’s unhoused population for potentially life-threatening cold.
In an email, a spokesperson for the Coalition for the Homeless said organizations from across the county have been “notifying people living unsheltered that inclement weather is headed our way, offering transportation to shelters and warming centers, and offering cold weather supplies when available.”
One of these organizations, Star of Hope, visited encampments near Minute Maid Park Wednesday morning to provide people with coats, blankets, and other essentials in order to get through the freezing weather.
