Despite cold weather, rain and closures, the City of San Antonio and Bexar County did not open warming centers this week because officials said that conditions did not meet the threshold.
“The policy is that we’re looking at 32 degrees or lower for a sustained period of time, or if there’s a combination of precipitation and temperatures below 32 that make it dangerously inclement,” City of San Antonio spokeswoman Laura Mayes said.
“Our human services outreach crews have been out doing outreach to the community starting on Monday and have continued that throughout the entire weather event,” Mayes said. “They’re also handing out cold weather gear, blankets, jackets, gloves, hats, because many people don’t want to use the services. That’s their choice. But we want to try to encourage them as best as we can to come into the shelters.
“Even when the warming centers are open, they closed down at a certain time. It’s not available for overnight sleeping, so I know there were a few emergency shelters that opened this week,” Haven for Hope Director of Communications Terri Behling said. “Anyone coming to Haven has access to three warm meals a day. Our clients have access to showers, laundry facilities and then all the resources that they could need.
