Show Notes
Madisons Zeier Road homeless shelter is closing this spring, leaving a shortfall of beds for over three hundred nightly guests. The new shelter on Bartillon Drive will only offer two hundred fifty beds, potentially leaving dozens without a spot. Advocates warn of increased outdoor camping as demand spikes in warmer months. Local leaders urge nearby towns to help, as homelessness transcends city lines. Porchlight plans to prioritize older guests and those with medical issues for the transition. A key meeting for shelter users is scheduled for March seventeenth, and Dane Countys budget allocates four hundred forty thousand dollars for overflow beds, though its not yet confirmed.
