Gainesville’s Cold Night Shelter Program extended Jan. 6-8

Press release from City of Gainesville

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – City of Gainesville officials anticipate severe weather conditions, including temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, during the evening hours of Monday, Jan. 6, through Wednesday, Jan. 8. The anticipated temperatures will lead to the extended 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 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.

  • *GRACE Marketplace primarily serves violent drug addicts, sex offenders, and career criminals from outside of Alachua Country.

    Fixed that small typo for you. Beds are limited, but I am sure any member of the Gainesville City Commission would be willing to house these fugitives in their own personal homes.

    • City Commission? 😂🤣😭 From that group of hypocrites? Chestnut or Saco would have a better chance of having a baby together.

      Ain’t gonna happen.

    • So you’d rather people freeze on the streets and not have any city-sponsored shelter available to them.

      Got it.

      • They could live with you for a couple nights but doubtful that’ll happen either.
        You’re just like they are.

  • If you got shelter cold night why not not warm nights and every day help make Gainesville great again
