1 year later, Upper Darby’s pet-friendly homeless shelter remains a lifeline

According to officials, Pottstown has one of the highest percentages of homelessness in the county. The shelter could reduce homelessness in the area by up to 75%.

If the 45-bed homeless shelter gets the approval of the planning commission, Pottstown Borough Council would have the last say.

The burst of new laws follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling and reflects public frustration with record-high homelessness.
