Cold night shelters in St. Pete will open on the evening of December 3, 2024, as temperatures are expected to drop below 40 degrees. The Homeless Leadership Alliance has coordinated with local shelters to provide warm and safe accommodations for those in need.
Shelters will accept guests until they reach capacity, with priority given on a first-come, first-served basis. Families with children are advised to call 2-1-1 for assistance in finding shelter options.
