Grand Junction's Homeless Crisis: Small Shelters Struggle

Smaller shelters like WEShelter are stepping up, offering emergency beds for up to 16 men. Homelessness is on the rise, with 725 people affected in Mesa County alone. Funding shortfalls have led to a one-million-dollar deficit, and local leaders are calling for more funding and landlord buy-in to address the issue.
