Where to find warming centers in Detroit

article

With single digit temperatures settling into Southeast Michigan, Detroit has opened warming shelters around the city to offer some respite from the conditions.

Four sites have been opened so far, two for families and single women specifically. 

Temperatures are expected to be in the single digits most of the day on Tuesday and that could be deadly to people trapped outside. Anyone in need of help can stop by any of the four shelters:

• Cass Community Social Services - 1534 Webb Street, accepts families and single women
• Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries Genesis House 3 - 12900 W. Chicago St, accepts families and single women
• Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries Third Street - 3533 Third Ave., accepts single men
• Pope Francis Center, TCF Center, 1 Washington Blvd., open to all homeless from 7-11 a.m.

Anyone looking for more information can call (313) 305-0311.
