Spokane homeless shelters at capacity during coldest temperatures of the season | krem.com
SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — CORRECTION: KREM previously reported three deaths resulted from exposure, according to Jewels Helping Hands director Maurice Smith. It is important that we clarify that the City of Spokane does not corroborate that account. Spokane temperatures fell into single digits Friday, but the wind chill made it feel like -15 degrees. JEWELS Helping Hands warming center says three individuals facing homelessness died because they had nowhere to escape the cold. However the City of Spokane is reporting no exposure-related deaths.
