The Macomb County Winter Shelter is set to close after Thursday night following a funding shortfall.
Motor City Mitten Mission travels around metro Detroit and finds people living on the street. It connects them with housing and other resources. This winter, it'll offer the same services while sheltering people overnight.
The group running the shelter is made up with volunteers who used to be homeless themselves. They talked to FOX 2 about their experiences and why the shelter is badly needed ahead of the winter.
Motor City Mitten Mission, the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network, and Detroit police were all in attendance to help out those struggling with housing and other issues.
As a winter storm brought heavy winds, bitter cold temperatures and shut down schools and offices throughout metro Detroit, a team of volunteers braved the cold to find people unsheltered.
