#Kentucky - #CatholicActionCenter opens #WarmingShelter for #homeless ahead of #WinterStorm
#MotherTeresaShelter provides refuge for single, #unhoused individuals
By WKYT News Staff and Alyssa Williams
Published: Jan. 24, 2026LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - "With bitterly cold temperatures hitting Kentucky, community advocates are working to ensure those living on the streets have a warm place to go.
"The Catholic Action Center has opened an impromptu warming shelter for single, unhoused individuals who need somewhere to go ahead of the winter storm.
"Ginny Ramsey with the Catholic Action Center said the space is the Mother Teresa Shelter, which is located toward the back of the Catholic Action Center on Goodwin Drive.
"She said this part of the building hasn’t been serving a purpose recently, so Thursday, she and other Catholic Action Center members wanted to provide this service.
Cold weather already causing injuries
"The Catholic Action Center placed several unhoused people in hotels, but Ramsey said she knows it’s impossible to get everyone taken care of.
"Ramsey said she believes this is the city’s only #WarmingShelter open for those who are currently homeless, and she’s hopeful that word will get out about it because she worries what will happen if people are out on the streets much longer.
" 'We have found so many people this week who already have damage from the cold. Some of them have already been pretty — we’ve had to take some to the hospital. We’ve had to bring some to get them warmed up, we know the damage going on out there,' Ramsey said.
"The warming shelter opened at noon Saturday and will be open until noon Tuesday."

Here’s where #Vermont shelters are opening to help in #extremeCold
We made a map of shelter locations with information on how to use them.

This story, by Report for America corps member Carly Berlin, was produced through a partnership between #VTDigger and #VermontPublic.
Updated on Jan. 23 at 4:38 p.m.
"With subzero temperatures expected to set in on Friday, communities across Vermont are opening emergency shelters for people experiencing homelessness.
VTDigger/Vermont Public confirmed that nine extreme cold weather shelter locations will be open over the weekend. Most are part of a state-funded network of overflow shelters that activate when temperatures fall into the negatives as an attempt to save lives. You can find information on how to access those shelters below.
Other communities may open more informal shelters, too. Vermont Emergency Management suggests calling your town office to ask about local warming centers or to call 2-1-1 to find a facility near you.
#BenningtonVTBennington’s extreme cold shelter is located at 200 Pleasant St., at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.
It will be operating on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, according to Roxanne Carelli, executive director of operational development and shelter services at Bennington County Coalition for the Homeless.
The shelter will be open from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. each night.
The space has capacity for 35 people.
Adults, families, and unaccompanied minors are allowed, according to Carelli. Sex offenders will not be admitted. Well-behaved pets will be allowed.
#BrattleboroVTBrattleboro’s extreme cold shelter is located at the Beloved Community church at 18 Town Crier Dr.
The shelter typically operates Sunday through Thursday nights throughout the winter. It will activate on Friday and Saturday night this week for the cold snap, according to Rick DeAngelis, a project officer with Vermont Interfaith Action, the organization that oversees the cold weather shelters.
The shelter will be open from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.
It has space for 15 people.

"With subzero temperatures expected to set in on Friday, communities across Vermont are opening emergency shelters for people experiencing homelessness.
VTDigger/Vermont Public confirmed that nine extreme cold weather shelter locations will be open over the weekend. Most are part of a state-funded network of overflow shelters that activate when temperatures fall into the negatives as an attempt to save lives. You can find information on how to access those shelters below.
Other communities may open more informal shelters, too. Vermont Emergency Management suggests calling your town office to ask about local warming centers or to call 2-1-1 to find a facility near you.
#BenningtonVTBennington’s extreme cold shelter is located at 200 Pleasant St., at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.
It will be operating on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, according to Roxanne Carelli, executive director of operational development and shelter services at Bennington County Coalition for the Homeless.
The shelter will be open from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. each night.
The space has capacity for 35 people.
Adults, families, and unaccompanied minors are allowed, according to Carelli. Sex offenders will not be admitted. Well-behaved pets will be allowed.
#BrattleboroVTBrattleboro’s extreme cold shelter is located at the Beloved Community church at 18 Town Crier Dr.

The shelter will be open from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.
It has space for 15 people.
Only adults are allowed, and pets must be registered as service animals to be admitted, DeAngelis said.
#BurlingtonVTBurlington’s extreme cold shelter is located at the Miller Center in the city’s New North End neighborhood, at 130 Gosse Court.

When #Maine #WarmingCenters can’t keep up with demand: ‘We are tasked with life and death decisions’
Advocates say #overnight facilities are essential in Maine, but services are limited and it is increasingly difficult to meet the need in communities, including those in #YorkCounty.
by Gillian Graham, January 11, 2026
BIDDEFORD — "Vassie Fowler feels a heavy burden when the doors of the warming center open.
"On the top floor of a former church, more than 50 homeless people unfold antigravity chairs and blankets to settle in and try to sleep each night. On evenings when temperatures dip into the single digits, the center will squeeze in up to 60.
But Seeds of Hope can’t make room for everyone." 'We know if we say no, there’s no other option for people,' said Fowler, executive director of the nonprofit on South Street. 'We are tasked with what feels like life and death decisions.'
"Advocates for the homeless population say warming centers are essential in Maine, where it can be dangerous and deadly to go unsheltered during winter months. But in a state with limited services, they say it is increasingly difficult to meet the need in many communities, including those in #YorkCounty, where there are no spots at overnight facilities for most of the hundreds of people who are homeless.
In September, Gov. Janet Mills and MaineHousing announced $2.3 million in grants to support 12 emergency warming centers across the state this winter in Bangor, Portland, Ellsworth, Presque Isle, Waterville, Lewiston, Biddeford, Sanford, Augusta and Brunswick."Some, like Seeds of Hope, are open every night.
"Others are more restricted: Portland only opens its shelter when the temperature is below 15 degrees or more than 10 inches of snow are expected; and in Sanford, the only center has 16 beds and is limited to families with children.
"People who are unsheltered in Sanford feel helpless and discouraged, said Rebecca Jackson, co-founder of It Takes a Village 207, a nonprofit that provides support and resources to people in the city.
" 'When temperatures reach dangerously low levels, access to warmth is not a luxury — it is a matter of survival,' Jackson said. 'Without accessible, low-barrier places to warm up, people are left with impossible choices that put their health and lives at risk.'
[...]
"On Wednesday afternoon, 28-year-old Brooke Paul huddled near a doorway at a shopping plaza in downtown Sanford. She said she has been homeless for six years and sleeps in a tent in the woods near a walking trail.
"During the day, she tries to warm up by going into local businesses until she is asked to leave. At night, she layers her clothes and uses as many blankets as she can.
" 'The other night was freezing. It sucks,' she said. She wishes there was a nearby warming center.
" 'Why wouldn’t there be?' she said."

#BangorME Area Homeless Shelter ends winter warming center
8/19/2025
by Brittany McHattenBANGOR, Maine (WABI) - "It’s not even Labor Day yet, but an early-season cool spell has some Mainers planning ahead for colder months.
"That includes the Bangor Area Homeless Shelter which is moving forward with previously-announced plans to forgo its overnight warming center this winter.
"Shelter officials say they ran their overnight warming center for seven years. But, when they closed in March, they decided they wouldn’t reopen in the fall.
"That’s mainly due to the high cost of staffing, but the numbers weren’t making sense either.
"The shelter’s executive director says at one point there were 15 people in the warming center, but 11 of the 38 beds upstairs were open.
"With the planned addition of five mats on a temporary basis, they hope to help fill some of the gaps that will be left behind.
" 'One of the questions I was asked is: with us closed, will there still be enough room for people? There wasn’t enough room for people with us open, either. Seven or eight years ago when we started, we had about two-dozen people who were outside. That number now is probably 100 times, if not more than that, with people we have who are outside,' said Boyd Kronholm, executive director, Bangor Area Homeless Shelter. 'Although there is a need for this service, we’re just not able to provide it.'
"The plan is for those five additional beds to come open November 1st until the end of April.
"Bangor will have two remaining overnight warming centers. They’re located at the Brick Church on Union Street and The Mansion Church on Center Street."

Warming centres: Places where unhoused people can relax
Last updated December 18, 2025Homelessness in Montréal
The city has set up temporary warming centres for people experiencing homelessness. These heated spaces are accessible daily during the cold season, in the evening and all night, and will remain open until March 31, 2026. Visitors can get snacks, hot drinks and referrals to other resources.
Warming centres let people get out of the cold and spend the night in a warm, safe place. They are set up in various city or partner facilities and are run in collaboration with community organizations.
Registration is not required to use the centre.
Actions to promote cohabitation
Warming centres provide a safe and quiet place for unhoused people in the area. Teams and partners are on site to provide psychosocial support, cleanliness and ensure harmonious co-existence with the neighbourhood. Every possible measure has been put in place to limit noise and preserve a peaceful environment.
Safety and security are maintained through close collaboration between the Montréal police and community organizations. Strict rules and close surveillance on site prevent incivility and ensure respectful behaviour."
