WYTV 33 ABC announces a new Hometown Hero. Teresa Hosey is a woman who serves as an inspiration for those living in Warren’s Christy House homeless shelter. Teresa Hosey uses her life experiences to make sure others can get back on their feet, just like she did. Hosey is the program director for the Christy House, which is run by the Greater Warren-Youngstown Urban League. The organization has always been an inspiration for Hosey.

As the dangerous cold bears down on the valley, shelters are taking in those looking for a warm place to stay. The Christy House in Warren is full with 30 people, but shelter leaders say they have room for more. "We do not turn away anybody," Tom Conley said, executive director of the Greater Warren-Youngstown Urban League.
