Homeless shelters team up in response to cold

Shelters around the city are working together to battle the cold temperatures. CTV Montreal reports they are doing this by coordinating vacancies.

They are also offering a shuttle bus to take people to other shelters if one is full. The shelters have six hundred and forty beds combined.

Before this movement homeless people would be rejected if there was no room. Shelters are also opening earlier when temperatures drop below minus ten.
