Good Times reporter Aiyana Moya writes about the impending cessation of services by an organization that delivers hands-on help to a lot of unhoused people. Excerpt: Since it opened a decade ago, Footbridge Services has provided shelter for nearly 200 people a night during winter days when temperatures dropped below freezing.
