With daytime temperatures forecast to barely rise above zero the rest of this week, thoughts turn to Vermont's homeless population.
That topic was the lead story on last night's 6 o'clock news on WCAX Channel 3.
The Samaritan House of St. Albans was featured in that story. The shelter's Linda Ryan said, "We have had a significant increase in the number of women and families that come here."
That echos the findings of VHFA's issue paper from June 2008: "Family Homelessness in Vermont."
