A number of overnight shelters have opened up in Sussex County as the temperatures begin to drop.
Nine shelters are expecged to be in the county open every night through March 15th.
WBOC reports but there may not be enough overnight volunteers to staff the shelters.
Code Purple County Executive Director Nikki Gonzalez told the television station that Milford may not open because of the staffing problem and that Georgetown is also in what has been called critical condition.
Meanwhile, around a hundred people are expected to seek overnight shelter with many of the shelters only holding around 14 while others will accommodate 30.
