Weather-Activated Shelters

During cold and rainy weather, additional sites called Weather-Activated Shelters may be activated.

The Weather-Activated Winter Shelter (Emergency Shelter) Program is a short-term weather activated emergency response to provide individuals experiencing homelessness a safe and supportive short-term shelter during severe inclement weather. This program is run to protect individuals from the rain and cold weather to avoid hypothermia, pnuemonia, and other conditions caused by cold temperatures.

Sites may be activated if at least two of the following conditions are met

Two consecutive days where daytime temperature highs are below 50 degrees
Nighttime lows are below 40 degrees
One or more consecutive days of heavy rainfall
