NOTICES, ALERTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
CITY COLD WEATHER POLICY 2019-2020
The City’s Cold Weather Shelter & Outreach will include continuous shelter availability beginning December 1 through February 29 with an activation threshold for the rest of October and during the months of November and March. That threshold is when temperatures fall below 32°F. Previously, the City’s threshold was 20°F without precipitation or 25°F with precipitation.
Warming buses will again be available this winter season at the intersection of 13th & Chestnut downtown in order to take people to shelters between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. when the City’s Cold Weather Shelter & Outreach is activated. The City also intends to make Metro passes available at no additional cost for those who might need help with transportation.
While city shelters will be open continuously regardless of temperature the next few months, emergency shelters are still only opening at the 20/25 degree threshold.

POINT IN TIME COUNT
People, sheltered and unsheltered, who are without permanent homes will be counted the last of January, probably January 29, 2020.
www.moboscoc.org/point-in-time-count. Since services downtown have been decreased, many of those needing homes have left downtown. If your organization shelters people who are homeless or if you know where they are living, please contact the St Louis Continuum of Care or Homeless Services to make sure they are counted. An undercount results not only in less money for services but also gives a false impression of what is and is not working to house people.
