Beacon kicked off the public portion of fund raising for its new facility Tuesday night.

This Friday on Noon Edition, we'll talk with Bloomington's mayor and local service providers about their strategies to address homelessness in the community.

Bloomington’s only shelter dedicated to women experiencing homelessness, the Wheeler Shelter for Women, closed nearly a year ago.

Bloomington’s annexation attempt was denied this week. Officials celebrated the completion of I-69. And we look at how universities are helping drive semiconductor production in Indiana.

The plan developed by local groups and the City of Bloomington seeks to address street homelessness with long-term housing solutions.

Early August will mark the fourth time the city has removed an encampment under Mayor Kerry Thomson, who took office in January.

The Supreme Court ruled to uphold an Oregon's city ban on sleeping outside, allowing cities to enforce criminal punishments even when there isn't shelter space.

The city said it chose to clear the encampment after receiving reports of fires. There about 15-20 people currently staying there, according to the city's communications director.

The Monroe County and City of Bloomington governments cleared three encampments where people experiencing homelessness were living Wednesday.

Frigid temperatures throughout the area earlier this month put a spotlight on the need for shelter, especially for those experiencing homelessness.
