These shelters will operate until February 14 at 6 pm, providing crucial resources for those in need during freezing temperatures. Additional sleeping beds have been added, and the county guarantees that no one will be turned away. The shelters are pet-friendly and accessible for individuals with disabilities. Free transportation options via TriMet and assistance through a non-emergency line are also provided to ensure community safety and support.
Pets are allowed and all sites are accessible to those with disabilities. Multnomah County officials emphasize inclusivity and compassion by ensuring comfort for all, including pets and those with special needs.
With the opening of two additional sites tonight, the county has a total of eight warming shelters currently in operation, addressing increasing demands due to severe weather.
