This week on Street Beat, host Rob Stone learns how metro Detroiters are helping the homeless survive and thrive. First, he meets Amanda Holdsworth who developed an app that locates homeless shelters.

Then, Ken Lampar, the Development Director for the Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team, explains how his group helps the homeless transition back to self-sufficiency.

Next, Delphia Simmons of THRIVE Detroit discusses the newspaper that helps the homeless help themselves.

Finally, Saunteel Jenkins, the CEO of The Heat and Warmth Fund (THAW), and news anchor Marie Osborne from WWJ Newsradio 950, talk about the work THAW does to keep people warm this winter and the upcoming THAW Radiothon to raise much needed funds.
