Three churches say Pottstown officials have stopped them from helping those in need. K_Hua gets a response from Pottstown Borough Council.
“They’re concerned with other churches opening up warming centers or shelters and then allowing people to come from the tri-state area and just bringing more need for more social services into Pottstown,” Niarhos said.
“One of the other fears that we think they have is that providing social services and revitalization can’t co-exist,” Niarhos said. Pottstown Borough Council initially sent a statement to NBC10 saying that other wealthier towns in Montgomery County aren't doing enough to share the responsibility of helping the homeless, putting an unfair burden on Pottstown taxpayers.
