LORAIN — Community members in Lorain will be able to keep dry during Northeast Ohio weather storms. Councilwoman JoAnn Moon and the Lorain Metropolitan Housing Authority teamed up to give umbrellas to homeless shelters and nonprofit organizations in Lorain .
Judith Carlin is the executive director at Lorain Metropolitan Housing Authority. She says together they have given over 300 umbrellas to the Lorain community. Rose’s Faith Adult Home is one of the organizations that received umbrellas. The organization fosters homeless veterans and people with mental disabilities.
“A lot of people don’t respect homeless veterans anymore. People think because you're homeless you might rape them, but that's not true. Or you might steal from them, but that’s not true either,” said Mathews.“Homeless veterans and people with minor mental issues deserve a chance to deserve housing, they need someone to look after them,” said Mathews.
