Just an FYI to help you sleep.... Delaware has enough shelters to cover all of the homeless (meaning, on a regular basis, not just during this storm). Here, any homeless person who sleeps on the streets does so by choice(usually it is due to mental illness). Some shelters require that everyone be in by 10:00pm. This weekend that requirement is lifted, so people can come in at any time.

I really do think that most states have made extra housing available to the homeless during this storm. My concern is the mentally ill who will refuse the assistance due to paranoia.
