Downtown Champaign rallies for bigger shelter

Downtown Champaign is about to see a major boost in support for people facing homelessness. CU at Home’s ‘One Winter Night’ is back for its 13th year, and this time, the funds raised will help open a new facility on Mattis Avenue—nearly doubling the shelter’s capacity. For years, the hardest part for staff has been turning people away because there just wasn’t enough space. Soon, more men and women will have a safe place to stay, plus access to kitchens, tech spaces, and case managers. How do you think this expanded shelter will impact our community? #Safety #Champaign #OneWinterNight
