Abstract:
In May 2011, the Inter-Faith Council (IFC) for Social Service in Chapel Hill proposed moving their existing men’s homeless shelter to a different neighborhood. However, residents protested the move, and as a result, men who need the IFC Community House’s services must be picked up at the old shelter. The small amount of space available for emergency drop-ins also presents problems for the shelter, especially with the cooler temperatures in early 2016.
