DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – There was a dash to the shelters on Thursday morning after the anticipated cold front blew into the metroplex.
“We’ve seen the snow, we’ve the wind chill, and everyone is realizing how cold it is going to be,” said Juliana Williams with homeless outreach center Our Calling. “So people are taking shelter sooner than they may have in another inclement weather situation.”
Several dozen people lined up outside the Austin Street Center in Dallas before noon on Thursday. They were being processed 10 people at a time. Hundreds of cots and warm meals are waiting inside.
The shelters will stay open as long as temperatures consistently remain below freezing.
