Beaumont prepares shelters and transport for homeless amid cold snap

As a dangerous cold snap approaches Beaumont, with temperatures expected to fall into the 20s and possibly the teens, local organizations and city leaders are working together to protect the area’s homeless population. Henry’s Place, led by director Brooke McDaniel, is collecting blankets, jackets, sleeping bags, and other cold-weather supplies to help keep people warm. McDaniel says the shelter’s work is only possible through strong community support, reminding residents that many people are just one unexpected hardship away from needing help. The City of Beaumont, under Mayor Roy West, is coordinating emergency efforts by providing additional cots, food, and transportation, with Henry’s Place serving as an overflow shelter if the Salvation Army reaches capacity. The city has also arranged heated mobile transit and bus service, even on days buses normally don’t operate, to ensure people can reach shelter safely. With winter weather looming, officials say preparation, compassion, and community involvement will be key to keeping everyone safe during the cold. _______________ Follow KFDM on social media: KFDM on Facebook:   / kfdmnews   KFDM on Twitter:   / kfdmnews   Subscribe to KFDM on YouTube:    / @newsonkfdm   For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit https://kfdm.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://kfdm.com/watch Have a news tip?
