WOONSOCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — One Rhode Island city has found a creative way to combat homelessness in the community.

Monday night, the Woonsocket city council approved the purchase of a 45-foot coach bus, which will be turned into a miniature shelter.

For months, Woonsocket council members have been working to secure what’s called a “Dignity Bus.”

The bus was originally found and pursued by the state, but the process was held up.

“I was a little bit upset about it,” City Council Vice President Valerie Gonzalez recalled. “We had been working on it for quite a bit.”

I was born there, nearly 79 years ago. Ot was a majority French-Canadian textile mill city. It was nice then. Sad to see what has happened.

That was my idea. Lock all doors. Drive.
