Unfortunately there are not enough shelter beds for all of our homeless neighbors. However, on nights when the temperature drops below 40 degrees several organizations open their doors to help protect more of our neighbors from the cold.

PLEASE NOTE: Even though the temperature may drop below 40 degrees on a certain night it is always prudent to contact any of these shelters before you arrive.
