Denver Activates Severe Weather Shelter

Denver Activates Severe Weather Shelter

Published on November 01, 2024

With colder weather approaching early next week, the City and County of Denver will activate its Cold Weather Shelter plan. For this activation, the Department of Housing Stability will provide extra 24/7 shelter from 1 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4 to 11 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 at the Stone Creek shelter (former Best Western hotel), 4595 Quebec St. and at city facilities located at 2601 W. 7^th Ave., and 375 S. Zuni St.

Cold weather poses a serious danger to people who are unsheltered and the city encourages people to come inside.

Individuals in need of shelter can also be referred to the city's "front door" shelter access points (denvergov.org/findshelter), which are also expanding their capacity for the cold weather. Front door shelters include:

• For individual men - Denver Rescue Mission Lawrence Street Community Center, 2222 Lawrence St.

• For individual women - Samaritan House, 2301 Lawrence St.

• For youth ages 15-20 - Urban Peak, 1630 S. Acoma St.

• Families in need of shelter should call the Connection Center at 303-295-3366.
