OVERFLOW STATUS - What does it mean?

Cleveland winters can be especially hard. "Overflow" goes into effect when weather is deemed potentially life-threatening (<20°F + wind chill). During this time at Crossroads and Laura's Home, no one is turned away, 24-hr walk-in registration, short-term clients remain inside all day and "Overflow" status remains in effect until further notice.
