Freedom House to Open New Shelter
Shelter to Assist Homeless Veterans
Monday, December 17, 2007

The biblical Christmas story will be played out in a modern setting this weekend as Portage County residents come together to raise money for a new shelter for homeless veterans. The Department of Veteran Affairs estimates at least 25 percent of America's homeless are military veterans. In fact, the VA says there are at least 300 thousand homeless veterans on America's streets on any given night. WKSU's Tom Parkinson visited a shelter dedicated to helping homeless vets get back on their feet.
