[Source: Colton Shone, KTAR Radio] — The warm temperatures are making it extra tough on the Valley’s homeless population. At the Human Services campus in downtown Phoenix, many people are seeking shelter, but some have to be turned away. “There’s not endless resources for this sort of thing, especially now that we have a 60 percent increase in the homeless population,” director Arlene Pfeiff-Maraj said.
Pfeiff-Maraj says the shelter expects about 1,000 people Thursday night but can only hold 450. Another 300 will stay in a nearby warehouse, and the rest will sleep in the parking lot. [Note: Read full article at Phoenix homeless seek refuge from heat]
