A new homeless shelter could be opening in Bellows Falls this winter.
Approximately 35 people attended a public forum last night to discuss plans to open an overnight shelter at 33 Canal Street. According to the story in this morning's Brattleboro Reformer, most who spoke at the gathering support the initiative.
The shelter would be open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and provide space for 15 people.
