A frigid Baltimore storm highlights the cold shoulder from those in power

A winter storm and sub-zero windchills recently ravaged a city that already struggles to keep drug users and unhoused residents alive. Like elsewhere in the nation, this weather is a death sentence for our most vulnerable.

Not all drug users are unhoused, and not all unhoused people are drug users. Although a whopping 77 percent of unhoused residents reported being addicted to a substance last year, the groups are more united by the fact that they are heavily stigmatized and at increased risk of death during the winter.
