A year after the closing of the Welcome Arnold Shelter in Cranston, advocates placed 100 pairs of shoes on the steps of the State House rotunda this afternoon. The shoes were meant to be bring attention to the homeless population. The shelter, the state's largest, housed 100 people nightly. It had been closed to make way for a new state police headquarters. That plan has since been dropped.
