COLD WEATHER SHELTER

From November 1 through March 31, the Nashville community is collaborating on implementing our Cold Weather Community Response Plan. The plan focuses on giving people who experience homelessness the best possible information and assistance to seek emergency shelter indoors - especially during extremely cold weather situations.
​
Metro is working closely with the community. Metro government is prepared to activate an overflow shelter at 32 degrees Fahrenheit for unhoused and unsheltered individuals and families when primary community shelters have reached capacity.  

From November 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023 (or as otherwise announced on this site), Metro’s cold weather overflow sheltering plan will activate when the National Weather Service’s official local forecast is predicted to reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below for three or more hours in zip code 37203, and the Metro overflow shelter will begin receiving guests when primary community partner shelters reach maximum capacity. The determination of opening a Metro overflow shelter is based on the weather prediction on the afternoon prior to any overflow operation.

LOCATION: 3230 Brick Church Pike, Nashville, TN 37207
