With colder weather approaching, the City and County of Denver will activate its Cold Weather Shelter plan. For this activation, the Department of Housing Stability will provide extra shelter from 1 p.m. Monday, Dec. 30 through 11 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8. An additional extension may be possible pending future weather forecasts.
Individuals in need of shelter should go to the city’s “front door” shelter access points (denvergov.org/findshelter), which have also expanded capacity for the cold weather. Front door shelters include:
Shelter will also be available at Stone Creek shelter (former Best Western hotel), 4595 Quebec St. and at city facilities located at 2601 W. 7th Ave., and 375 S. Zuni St. In addition, extra overflow shelter is open from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. at the St. Charles Recreation Center, 3777 Lafayette St. through Jan. 6. Additional overflow shelter may be added on Jan. 6 and updates will be provided at Denvergov.org/findshelter.
Cold weather poses a serious danger to people who are unsheltered, and the city encourages people to come inside. For more information about shelter access, visit denvergov.org/findshelter.
