Nancy Griggs spends every day with people on Ogden’s streets, giving back to a community that she once belonged to.

“I am formerly homeless," said Griggs, who works as a homeless advocate for the city."That's really my basis of why I wanted to start doing this.”

“Are we doing things better than other police agencies and emergency management departments in Utah? I'm going to have to say yes, when it comes to unsheltered population," he said. “The hardest part with this is just finding those individuals, because some of the unsheltered don't want to be found," he said."When we do come across these individuals, we want to let them know, 'Hey, use the resources that are available to you. Let's get you out of the inclement weather.'"

"It's absolutely miserable," she said."Not only is it hard to be homeless because then you feel like people are looking down on you, and then you're either invisible or you're a problem. Being in the cold and being completely alone, it's one of the worst feelings in the world.”
