Dane Co. planning for day shelter for homeless

Posted:

MADISON (WKOW) -- Homeless people in Dane County may have a new place to stay warm this winter.

The county is partnering with Porchlight Inc. to open a day shelter facility at a county-owned building on Wright Street in Madison. It'll be much like the facility Porchlight ran this past winter on E. Washington Ave. in Madison.

But first, the county board needs to approve the deal. The board will take up the matter Thursday night.
