CENTRAL OHIO HOUSING 

IN COLUMBUS, THE COMMUNITY SHELTER BOARD HAS WRAPPED UP ITS WINTER WARMING SEASON AFTER SERVING MORE THAN 12-HUNDRED PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN CENTRAL OHIO. 
OFFICIALS SAY NEARLY 100 PEOPLE EITHER MOVED INTO PERMANENT HOUSING OR FOUND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING. THAT'S NEARLY TWICE AS MANY AS LAST YEAR. THE PROGRAM INCLUDED EIGHT WARMING AND OVERFLOW SITES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY WITH AN EXPANDED RESPONSE DURING THAT WINTER STORM IN JANUARY. OFFICIALS SAY MANY PEOPLE SERVED HAD BEEN HOMELESS FOR YEARS, SOME FOR MORE THAN A DECADE.
