While Delaware draws big crowds for NASCAR and musical events, in Dover that may have an adverse effect on the homeless.
With attendees willing to pay high prices for hotel rooms hundreds of homeless may not find shelter under programs which do not pay as much.
Christy Gordon, vice president of the Foundation for a Better Tomorrow, told the Wilmington News Journal that hundreds of homeless including mothers and small children can find themselves pushed out and back on the streets.
He said many are put in these motels by state vouchers as well as by churches and volunteer organizations like Foundation.
The paper reports that the Delaware Health and Social Services Secretary Rita Landgraf last week put together an informal coalition to figure out how to solve the problem.
