We will use this page to post and share information about upcoming winter weather and resources for people experiencing homelessness as it becomes available.
Emergency Shelters are open throughout the year. We work with community partners to open overflow shelter space when temperatures are below 0 for an extended period of time. We will update this page during winter weather events to ensure you have the most current information.
The National Weather Service warns that an Arctic cold front arriving Tuesday, February 18, will bring bitterly cold temperatures through Thursday morning, increasing the risk of frostbite and hypothermia for those without proper shelter.

Outreach teams are responding to requests as quickly as possible. However, due to current road conditions, teams are experiencing delays. If you or someone you see needs urgent assistance, please call 911.
During extreme weather events, Outreach Teams from several agencies work together to ensure that people living unsheltered (on the streets) are informed about and protected from upcoming winter weather. They bring them gear and offer rides to warming stations and shelters.
To submit an outreach request, please fill out our Outreach Request Form and we will find a team available to provide assistance.
If you see someone in immediate danger, please call 911.
Donate Coats, Hats, and Gloves, Blankets, etc.: Have extra winter wear? Your gently used or new donations can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Donations can be taken to the Tulsa Day Center at 415 W. Archer.
Monetary Contributions: Every dollar helps! Your donations allow teams to purchase life-saving items and provide essential services during extreme weather.
