PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) - A Colorado Springs nonprofit is taking over the operation of its Pueblo counterpart in hopes of keeping the southern Colorado homeless shelter open.

The Colorado Springs Gazette reports (https://bit.ly/2nBEYf1 ) that Springs rescue Mission on Tuesday announced that it will take over operations at the Pueblo Rescue Mission as part of a partnership deal.

The Pueblo Rescue Mission will be a separate nonprofit, but Springs Rescue Mission will offer oversight and managerial guidance.

The Pueblo nonprofit has about 50 beds and can accommodate as many as 85 people on cold nights.
