Overnight shelters regularly open

Local organizations are beginning to announce their overnight shelters and warming stations when temperatures dip to dangerously cold levels.

Some facilities, such as volunteer fire stations, are not staffed regularly and should be contacted via phone before arriving to ensure someone will be present.

This list was compiled by Region 9 Continuum of Care. Contact Elisa Worland at eworland@purdue.edu or 765-973-9281 to be added. This version was last updated Nov. 30, 2023.
