Homeless Voice Expands Cold Weather Outreach
Wed, 01/13/2010 - 03:59 | Mark Targett
Sean Cononie, stated, "We put out more outreach vehicles and teams of workers than we have ever done for the current cold weather warnings." Ten crews went out and covered most of Broward County and a little of North Dade. Cononie added, "At a time of us taking 80 percent of our vendors off the streets from selling our paper because it was so cold the outreach became very expensive." Each night of outreach and bringing the homeless back to our shelters cost an additional $3100.00 per night. According to Cononie, "There are times you have to spend money when it is not budgeted for the protection of human life and we will get blessed one way or another and somehow the money will come back in to us for the next emergency"
"We all have heard the pitch about how global warming is destroying the earth but many us do not believe it or don’t think they personally can do anything to help solve the problems. From this point on we thought of a motivator so people could start taking small steps all on their own that would eventually save them money in the long run. So we said lets use money as a motivator to help restore the earth we live in."
