'Numbers have certainly declined': #PortlandME to close shelter for #AsylumSeekers [and homeless people who need shelter during freezing temperatures]
by Max Williams, WGME
Wed, March 18, 2026Excerpt: "The city also needs to develop a gameplan for a #WarmingShelter by next winter, as this location served as the city’s only #OvernightShelter.
"Allicia Santamore has been living on the streets of Portland for eight years and considers the shelter to be a lifeline.
" 'The warming shelter is awesome for people to sit when its six o'clock in the morning and you got no place to go. You can't stay in your tent no more, it’s f------ freezing,' Santamore said.
"The city says they are talking with Maine DHHS about what to do, but they say it all comes down to funding."

#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.
by Carly Berlin January 22, 2026, 5:05 pm
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.
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.
The shelter will open for four consecutive nights – Friday night through Monday night – according to a press release from Burlington Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak.
The shelter will open at 5 p.m. and close at 8 a.m. each day. It has a capacity for 100 people.
Only adults will be admitted, and pets are allowed. Transportation will be provided from several locations in the city’s core to the shelter: 95 North Ave. (COTS Daystation), 228 N.

#MontpelierVTMontpelier’s extreme cold shelter is located inside City Hall at 39 Main St.
The shelter will open tonight (Thursday, 1/22) according to Montpelier Emergency Cold Weather Shelter’s website. Shelter coordinator Andrea Stander said she intends to keep the shelter open Friday and Saturday if volunteer staffing allows.
This shelter uses a higher threshold – 10 degrees – to open. That means Stander is eyeing remaining open throughout the coming week, she said.
The shelter opens at 8 p.m. and closes at 8 a.m.
Pets are not allowed at this shelter. There’s space for 15 people.
#BarreVTBarre’s extreme cold shelter is located at the Barre Congregational Church at 35 Church St.

#PortlandME unlikely to change winter shelter threshold amid staffing, funding limits
The winter shelter opens when the daily low temperature drops to 15 degrees or below, or if the city gets more than 10 inches of snow.
Author: Katie Delaney
Published: 2:12 PM EST January 14, 2026
Updated: 2:12 PM EST January 14, 2026PORTLAND, Maine — "The city of Portland likely won’t be changing the criteria to open its winter warming shelter this season.
"Right now, the shelter opens when the daily low temperature drops to 15 degrees or below, or if the city gets more than 10 inches of snow.
City officials met to discuss the threshold and the possibility of making changes to it at a Health & Human Services & Public Safety Committee meeting Tuesday night.
"Despite some recent criticism about the temperature threshold, city leaders who spoke at the meeting said making changes to when the shelter is open this season does not seem feasible.
"This is the first year the city has operated a winter warming shelter. According to Maggie McLoughlin, Portland’s Director of Health & Human Services, it costs about $7,700 a night to operate the shelter. Most of that cost is from staffing.
"With that cost, the shelter has enough funding to be open for 50 nights this winter. It has been open for 12 nights so far.
"McLoughlin said if the city changed the temperature threshold even by just a few degrees, it would make a big difference. If the threshold went up to 20 degrees instead of 15, for example, she said the shelter would be open for an extra 14 to 21 nights, adding an extra $108,000 to $201,000 dollars.
That would take more staff, too—something McLoughlin said is already limited. Last month the shelter was closed for a weekend, despite meeting the temperature threshold, because of a lack of staff."
