Gainesville’s Cold Night Shelter Program anticipated Nov. 21-25

Press release from City of Gainesville

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – City of Gainesville officials anticipate severe weather conditions, including temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit during evening hours Thursday, Nov. 21-Monday, Nov. 25. The anticipated temperatures will lead to the activation of the city’s Cold Night Shelter (CNS) Program, and it is expected to remain in effect until overnight low temperatures rise above 45 F. The CNS program normally runs from Nov. 1 through March 31.

St. Francis House and GRACE Marketplace at the Empowerment Center will provide Cold Night Shelter services to people in need of shelter as long as overnight temperatures remain below 45 F. The CNS program providers serve additional persons in need of shelter so that families and individuals desiring shelter will have a warm place to stay. St. Francis House provides temporary shelter that is appropriate for families, women, and children. GRACE Marketplace primarily serves individual adults.

  • Enjoy it while you can, it may be one of the few opportunities to not see the panhandlers.

    Notice it’s NOT Poe, Ward or any of the other liberal idiots taking people in.

  • We should be housing these people on Greyhound buses. I hear Miami is nice and warm this time of year. So is San Diego.
