“Emergency shelter is available for men, for women and female-headed households with children, and so, we encourage people to come in and to be able to get the overnight shelter that they need,” said Carl Hetler, South Bend's coordinator of homeless outreach.

As new housing developments come into South Bend, advocates say there’s still a need for affordable and subsidized housing.

People without a warm place to stay tonight can go to the Center for the Homeless in South Bend at 8 p.m.
