GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) -- After an abrupt decision from the Interactive Resource Center to stop overnight hours right as the cold temperatures arrive, the City of Greensboro scrambled to come up with a new plan. Their new approach is to get several organizations involved to still meet the need. In total, there will be four churches involved, including Grace Community Church. Each church will offer a few beds to help out the homeless population overnight. The current shelters are at capacity, and this new program will offer 57 new beds every night all winter long. “Sometimes, we may not be able to have a space that can hold a lot of people, but we could have multiple spaces that can hold a couple of folks,” said Latisha McNeil with the Greensboro Office of Community Safety. The idea is to get churches, non profits and other smaller organizations involved in this effort. “People feel like those responsibilities are only given to a select few or larger organizations that do that, but small organizations can help too and have a great impact in serving the community,” McNeil said. Greensboro Urban Ministry is working on the logistics to get this organized. “It is an extension of what we do here every day: case management, night management, program supervision ... The churches are stepping up with hospitality, food and volunteers,” CEO of Greensboro Urban Ministry Brian Hahne said. The city handed over almost $500,000 in Nussbaum funding to GUM to operate the program from Dec. 8 through March 31. “Our main goal is to make sure people are safe, and we know that cold weather brings challenging times for folks,” Greensboro City Manager Nathaniel Davis said. GUM plans to hire between 20 and 25 people to keep these sites staffed at all times. “It is a total community effort … It is incredible what is happening,” Hahne said. There could be even more locations added if the need is there. “I think there is probably more. I hope that will at least relieve the pressure here. I am also working on securing other locations if we need more beds,” Hahne said. These sites will operate all winter long, but they are separate from the warming centers, which the city is still trying to come up with a plan for when the temperatures drop below freezing to give people a space to go.
