The beautiful weather is like a gift this week, after all the rain we've been having, but it brought along some very cold temperatures, especially at night. For me, the cold weather meant only the inconvenience of adding an extra layer of clothing, and scraping frost off the car windshield before heading to the office. For the 125 to 225 homeless who are sheltered at the Sunnyvale Armory each night, it meant much more.
A question now before the redevelopment authority is which of several housing proposals will be chosen for a final low income housing plan. If the Armory location is chosen for redevelopment, the winter shelter location could be lost. Some disadvantaged citizens might be helped, but others could literally be "left out in the cold." The meeting will be held in March, and I'll be watching to see what is decided.
