WS = Prado Day Center Warming Station, located at 43 Prado Road in SLO.
Last Friday, March 4, 2016, I spent some time walking the homeless camps in San Luis Obispo. My intention was to notify as many homeless people as possible about the opening of the Prado Warming Station that evening. If you don't know what the warming station is, I cover that in the 2nd half of this article.
The reason I was doing this was because of a recent conversation between the many homeless service players in SLO county about why so few people showed up at the warming stations that open up here during inclement winter weather. A long list was developed identifying the reasons our many homeless folks skip the WS.
Above: I frequently found stashes of homeless gear, carefully bagged and secured in the various homeless camp areas - mostly the creek beds areas around SLO.
