News : More people seeking help at shelters and food banks in Phoenix metro area : Sierra Vista, AZ: "PHOENIX (AP) — The grim economy has driven many residents in the Phoenix metro area to turn to shelters and food banks, and the charities are feeling the pinch.
Each night, more than 300 people sleep in the parking lot of one Phoenix homeless shelter for men because there’s no room left inside of the building. Central Arizona Shelter Services, the nonprofit that runs that shelter, lost $118,000 of the $839,000 it used to get annually from Phoenix."
