This is going to be a major crisis? Someone has their head up their arse. What a totally STUPID remark. With the chilly late Fall weather upon Michigan, just where are these people, including little children going to sleep.

They are among the homeless people found during a month of interviews by reporters for The Press and two related newspapers, the Kalamazoo Gazette and the Muskegon Chronicle.
