Jan 04, 2025
Denver is expanding its homeless shelter offerings Monday afternoon through Wednesday morning, as cold weather and snow threaten residents sleeping outdoors.
The city faces a 50% chance of snow Monday night, with temperatures expected to fall as low as 19, followed by more snow Tuesday and an overnight low of 11, according to the National Weather Service.
Individual men seeking shelter should go to the Denver Rescue Mission Lawrence Street Community Center at 2222 Lawrence St., while individual women can find shelter through Samaritan House at 2301 Lawrence St.
Teenagers and young adults between ages 15 and 20 can shelter at Urban Peak, 1630 S. Acoma St. Families looking for shelter can call Denver’s Connection Center at 303-295-3366.
Other spaces offering shelter include the Stone Creek shelter, formerly the Best Western hotel, at 4595 Quebec St., as well as city facilities at 2601 W. Seventh Ave. and 375 S. Zuni St. Additional overflow shelter will be available through the St. Charles Recreation Center, 3777 Lafayette St.
Although the expansion of shelter offerings is scheduled to last from 1 p.m. Monday through 11 a.m. Wednesday, Denver’s Department of Housing Stability wrote in a news release that “an additional extension may be possible pending future weather forecasts.”
