The Heat Wave And The Homeless

The temperatures will reach close to 117 degrees this weekend in the valley, a new record for this time of year. Most have the option of staying indoors to keep cool, but for the thousands of homeless and needy families in the city that's not possible unless they find a cooling station. There are thirteen stations overall open this weekend. Information on their locations is easy to find by calling 211. What do these stations provide? How many homeless struggle with the heat?
