The Severe Weather Network Livingston County(SWN), a collaborative effort with the Salvation Army, the Oakland Livingston Human Services Agency (OLHSA) and local churches, partners with community organizations, agencies and faith communities in an attempt to provide emergency, overnight refuge on life threatening nights during the winter months for individuals affected by homelessness, as well as, to connect homeless individuals with community action agencies committed to providing the services necessary to assist individuals with the transition into affordable housing.
