Pilot program seeks permanent housing for Lansing's homeless

Michigan’s long winter months can give anyone the blues, but it’s an especially dangerous time for the homeless. Hundreds of people in mid-Michigan live on the streets, and their circumstances are diverse. In Lansing, officials are so far pleased with the results of a pilot program to move 11 people out of a makeshift camp and into permanent housing.Current State’s Kevin Lavery reports that Volunteers of America Michigan is at the forefront, but they’re also working with about a half a dozen other local agencies.
