Cold temperatures create crisis for Bay Area families in need Justin Matthews reports TAMPA, Fla. - A rare dip in temperature to near-freezing in the Bay Area creates compounding issues for families in need, as well as those who offer them help. On Christmas, eight cold-weather shelters opened in Hillsborough County for people who need a safe place to stay, but COVID-19 restrictions are forcing the shelters to operate at a limited capacity. Amazing Love Ministries normally takes in about 60 people, but can only take in 30 people per night because of the pandemic. "If we get at capacity we call for the county to come pick them up in a bus and take them to the next shelter that's available," said Thayron Byrd with Amazing Love Ministries.
