Springfield warming-center plans remain unsettled as Egan funding shrinks

Springfield's place in this winter's Egan Warming Center network remains uncertain. St. Vincent de Paul operations director Bill Bernard told KLCC that federal disruptions had roughly halved operating funding over the past year and a half.

Bernard said volunteers and donations remain important to preparations. This is winter planning, not an announcement that a warming center is open tonight. The operator posts specific sites for each activated night on its website.
