Homeless Shelter to Open

A new homeless shelter in International Falls is expected to open its doors in November.

Servants of Shelter will use three different sites on a rotating basis each week.

LeeAnn Meer, executive director of Friends Against Abuse, says it's something they're trying as a pilot project.

"Currently we're putting them up in hotel," says Meer, "so we're trying everything to cut down on the cost involved. All of the meal will be provided by volunteers and its all organized by volunteers."

Meer says the shelter will take in about ten people each week.
