Where is the collective will among our leaders - including political, religious and civic - to deal with a real life and death situation? We have bitterly cold weather and not enough room for the homeless. Yet every church has a basement that could be opened to shelter people? Should not every faith based organization look closely at itself to see what it is doing to help on this subject? I drive by a closed Walker South (formerly a nursing home) facility on 61st and Lyndale that would be a perfect place to house homeless - it has a kitchen, etc. I don't have all the answers as to how this could be used, but I think someone in a position of power sure could.
