Updated 11/10/22 at 6:30am. Due to cold weather on Sunday November 6 through Saturday November 12, KCRHA is activating Severe Weather Response protocols. Outreach workers and service providers may request emergency funding from RHA for cold weather survival supplies, and we are expanding day center and shelter capacity.

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.
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 provide whatever is most needed.
If needed, we are prepared to expand both day center and overnight capacity. We will continue to monitor the weather as well as usage of the extra capacity, and will adjust as needed.

How to Treat and Prevent Hypothermia
Information from Public Health of Seattle King County. Hypothermia is a condition in which a person’s body temperature has dropped significantly below normal. This occurs from inadequate protection against exposure to cold temperatures. Symptoms include uncontrolled shivering, slow or unclear speech, feeling extremely tired, stumbling when attempting to walk, inability to think clearly, and semi-consciousness or unconsciousness.
