COLD WEATHER RESPONSE- 2020-2021
Metro Social Services was tasked to submit the Metro-portion of the Cold Weather Community Response Plan to the Metro Council by August 31. Metro continues to offer an overflow shelter this winter season starting on November 1, 2020. The Metro Cold Weather Overflow Shelter opens overnight when temperatures reach 28 degrees Fahrenheit*** or below. This year, 250-300 winter shelter beds will be made accessible to people from 7 pm to 7 am each time temperatures reach 28 degrees Fahrenheit or below. The location will be at the Fairgrounds in a separate building that is adjacent to the existing Social Distancing and the COVID+/Isolation shelters. All three shelter operations that are run by Metro at the Fairgrounds are in separate buildings to limit anyone’s potential exposure to COVID.
