When the sun rises tomorrow the temperature in Bloomington may be as low as three degrees.  This is especially dangerous for the unhoused. WFHB correspondent Morgan Reynolds spoke with people braving winter weather and social workers trying to bring them in from the cold, in a report produced in partnership with The Media School at Indiana University.

That’s a true story from the streets of Bloomington, as told in today’s feature report on the plight of the unhoused in the bitter cold of winter.
