Here's A List Of Warming Centers Now Open Across Detroit
(CBS DETROIT) - The city of Detroit along with two local nonprofit homeless service providers, has opened three warming centers to offer Detroit residents a break from the winter chill from now through March 31, 2020.
The city is contracting with Cass Community Social Services and Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries (two locations) to provide temporary relief to persons who are homeless when year-round shelters may be at capacity.
Detroit utilizes a coordinated entry process to access shelters and warming centers. This means those seeking shelter or warming center placements should visit the appropriate access point to meet with a staff member to explore available shelter options.
