Austin Activates Overnight Cold Weather Shelters for Dec. 30

The activation follows the city’s 35-degree trigger at Camp Mabry.

Overview

  • Registration runs from 6 to 8 p.m. at One Texas Center, 505 Barton Springs Road, which serves as the central embarkation point.
  • CapMetro will transport registrants from the embarkation site to shelter locations, with fare flexibility and an after-hours embarkation option.
  • Families with children and unaccompanied minors will receive hotel lodging during this activation.
  • The city does not disclose shelter addresses for safety and capacity reasons, and guests will receive meals with pets permitted under specified conditions.
  • The service is open to anyone needing a warm place, and AHSO is notifying nearly 5,000 text subscribers while asking partners to spread the word.
