OWENSBORO, KY - NEWS 25 was in Owensboro this weekend as neighbors rolled out the red carpet, Halloween style, for a new homeless shelter.
The Boulware Mission will be opening a homeless shelter next month. When they first brought up the idea to add a shelter to its drug & alcohol treatment center, some neighbors fought against it, but now residents tell NEWS 25 not everyone on the block feels the same way.
"A lot of times people don't know a whole lot about people who are trying to change their lives," Donnetta Gasaway says, "there is a chance for them to have a second chance at life."
Residents say they are hopeful the rest of Owensboro will embrace the new facility.
