Denver To Activate Cold Weather Shelter Plan Until Further Notice

Cold Weather Expected!

The City and County of Denver is activating its Cold Weather Shelter Plan at 1 pm Thursday, Jan. 8, and will keep it open until weather conditions improve.

Individuals in need of shelter are encouraged to go to “front door” shelter access points:

• For individual men – Denver Rescue Mission Lawrence Street Community Center, 2222 Lawrence St.
• For individual women – Samaritan House, 2301 Lawrence St.
• For youth/young adults ages 12-24 – Urban Peak, 1630 S. Acoma St.
