From the transcript
As we work toward that goal, I'm proud that we have stood up year-round shelter for the first time. This provides people not only a safe place to stay, but also a way to connect to the resources they need. This year, our shelter beds across the municipality were full at the time of the count. This highlights the need for these beds and the critical role they play in keeping a vulnerable population safe. But we still need more shelter beds.
