In partnership with the City of Renton, we provide a critical emergency shelter during severe weather events. Our facility offers up to 40 beds, ensuring a safe, warm space for individuals and families in need when extreme weather conditions strike. This service is part of our commitment to supporting our community's most vulnerable during times of crisis.
Together with the City of Renton, we strive to provide immediate relief and help people weather the storm.
The current procedures are based on:
Daily high temperature is forecast to be 35°F or below and daily low temperature is forecast to be 30°F or below for one or more days.
Snow accumulation expected to exceed four (4) inches in depth.
Other conditions deemed severe enough to present a substantial threat to the life or health of homeless persons.
At least one other shelter in South King County has been activated.
