WPCNR MR. & MRS. & MS. WHITE PLAINS POLL. May 21, 2008: Tuesday evening, the Common Council heard a request from Paul Anderson Mitchell of Grace Community Church, and John Rubin of the Open Arms Shelter which Grace Church runs to continue the 17 extra beds maintained at Open Arms Shelter (for homeless men only) on P ost Road and at Samaritan House at Grace Church (for homeless women) indefinitely. The Council previously had extended the 17 beds for persons (for two months through May 31) not registered with the County Department of Social Services to "drop-in" unannounced to spend 10 P.M. to 6 AM and sleep on a cot out of the elements.
How do Mr. and Mrs. White Plains feel about continuing to have a refuge for the undomiciled nightly?
