Sad reality of homeless people in the United States

This week, city authorities and outreach workers throughout the United States were scrambling to get people off the streets. They turned places such as libraries and arenas into shelters in an effort to relieve a humanitarian crisis that was exacerbated by frigid weather and an inflow of migrants.
As temperatures were expected to drop into the teens Fahrenheit (below -10 degrees Celsius) on Friday night, the Department of Family and Support Services in Chicago opened libraries and police stations as warming stations. At the same time, shelters in cities as far south as Baton Rouge, Louisiana, expanded their hours of operation and the number of beds they could provide.
This week, authorities in Denver, Colorado, which saw a temperature of minus 24 degrees Fahrenheit (-31 degrees Celsius) on Thursday, making it the second-coldest day in the history of the city, offered the Coliseum as a shelter for anyone seeking refuge from the extreme cold.
The capacity of the indoor arena, which had been planned by the officials to hold 225 people, was raised to 359 persons on Wednesday night.
One of the individuals who has been looking for refuge at the Coliseum this week is a man named Laphonse McMillan. McMillan was quoted as saying, "I feel good about being here because I don't have to worry about sleeping out in the weather, and I don't have to worry about moving from place to place.
