A family facing homelessness reached out at least three times to Detroit’s homeless response team, including as recently as late November, before two children froze to death in a van in a casino parking structure on Monday.
A day later, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan called for a review of city services for homelessness, the city’s homeless call center and ways to make services more accessible after the children’s deaths. They were ages two and nine.
Events like that turn people into the joker.
