CHICAGO - The frigid temperatures and highs winds are raising concerns for those with no place to go.
Before the storm, the city began deploying teams to reach out to people who are homeless and urge them to head to a city warming center or shelter.
Now, the Night Ministry Nonprofit is patrolling the streets and handing out winter gear, blankets and sleeping bags.
They're also providing information on shelters and ways to get there to help dozens avoid frostbite and hypothermia.
