Due to cold weather, with low temperatures in the 30’s on Thursday November 17 through Sunday November 20, KCRHA is activating Severe Weather Response protocols in Seattle.
There was significant usage of the cold weather shelter at Compass in downtown Seattle during the previous cold weather activation earlier this month, with 35+ people using the extra overnight space. Outreach workers and service providers may request emergency funding from RHA for cold weather survival supplies, and we are expanding overnight shelter capacity.
Members of the public who would like to support the distribution of harm reduction supplies like coats, blankets, wool or synthetic socks and gloves, sleeping bags, blankets, handwarmers, and food should donate funds directly to a local service provider. Donating funds ensures flexibility so that outreach and shelter providers can adjust their supplies to meet the need.

Housing is the solution to homelessness. Extra shelter space during extreme weather helps meet the immediate need for warmth, but doesn’t solve the root cause. We hope this can be a reminder to all our neighbors that housing is a basic human need, and every human deserves a safe place to live.
