Sacramento Bee: Sacramento-area faith congregations will house and feed 100 people each night in the coming months to make up for budget cuts that have slashed the county's winter shelter program.
Major Kevin Johnson and other key players announced the shelter plan at a news conference Monday at Trinity Cathedral in midtown Sacramento.
The church-based "nomadic shelter" program is a key part of an overall plan to end homelessness in the region, said Johnson. "Permanent housing for everyone is the goal," he said.
