Frigid temperatures will be rolling into Shreveport Bossier later this week. We will feel the chill Thursday night when our temperature is expected to dip into the teens. But the winds will be blowing pushing the wind chill temp into the single digits.

Folks with no place to go will be looking for shelter. Here are some of the local spots where people can get help and get out of the cold.
