The Madison capital building actually hosts homeless people in the basement year round. Google around and you’ll find news reports from Milwaukee with photos.

I Googled around. From what I found, everyone is kicked out at 6pm.

Use of Capitol building as homeless shelter raises concerns

In recent years, the marble landmark has become a shelter of sorts from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. because it's a warm, dry place for the homeless to rest and socialize. Activity is the greatest in the winter months, when more people find respite there.

Well, I found an article. Yes, the Capitol does shelter the homeless, BUT, they are shooed out at 6 p.m.

Capitol harbors the homeless
