You don’t need us to tell you that it’s extraordinarily cold in Maryland. It’s in the mid-teens now, and will probably get into the high 20s this afternoon – and then more snow, wind, bitter cold temperatures into the weekend.
It’s causing all kinds of problems for people who have homes, and those who don’t. We want to share some ideas about how to cope. We’ll speak with Ruth Ann Norton CEO of Green and Healthy Homes Initiative. First, to speak about services for city’s homeless population, we’re joined by Achike Oranye. He’s Manager of Homeless and Mental Health Outreach Services for the non-profit People Encouraging People, Inc.

Green and Health Homes Initiative, Baltimore City Housing Authority, Energy Ready and Baltimore County offer weatherization services for renters and homeowners.
