As the cold weather begins to settle in, leaders of Denver and Lakewood are taking action to provide shelter for those in need. With temperatures expected to be the coldest of the season, 10 to 15 degrees below normal, city officials are opening severe weather shelters to ensure the safety and well-being of their residents.
In Denver, three additional shelters will be available from 1 p.m. on Tuesday until 11 a.m. on Wednesday. This was announced in a news release by the city. Those in need of shelter are encouraged to visit one of the designated "front doors" for each shelter. Men can seek shelter at the Denver Rescue Mission's Lawrence Street Community Center, while women can find refuge at Samaritan House. Young people between the ages of 15 and 20 can go to Urban Peak, and families can contact the Connection Center for assistance.
In addition to these shelters, there will be three more locations open for those seeking shelter. These include the former Best Western hotel on Quebec Street, as well as two locations on Seventh Avenue and Zuni Street. This wide range of options ensures that there is a place for everyone to seek warmth and protection from the harsh weather conditions.
Lakewood is also taking action by opening a severe weather shelter from 7 p.m. on Tuesday until 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Located at 8000 W. Colfax Ave., this shelter is open to individuals 18 years and older. No reservations are necessary, and the shelter is even pet-friendly.
