Arthur Murray, left and Christopher Larochelle find shelter from the rain and snow Wednesday morning in the foyer of a business on Lisbon Street in Lewiston. Murray "couch surfs" with friends most nights while Christopher Larochelle, right, moves from town to town. "I have a place I built in Poland, but there are people squatting there that are worse off than me so I'm just working wherever I can and doing what I can to get by" he said with a smile.

Emerging from one of his "cubby holes" Wednesday morning, Patrick Crocker, who is homeless, walks down Lisbon Street in Lewiston where he was heading to the public library to warm up. "I'm on social security but it's not enough to get me a place to stay these days" he said as he waited for the library doors to open.
