What We Do

Provide Shelter During the Extreme Winter Months

The Code Blue Shelter is an emergency shelter that serves people who are homeless and who might otherwise remain unsheltered during periods of extreme winter weather throughout Lackawanna County. A “Code Blue” alert is issued when the forecast temperature, including wind chills, is expected to reach 20 degrees or lower, or a foot or more of snow, according to AccuWeather.

If necessary, based on weather conditions, an extension of the alert may be issued. On a day the shelter is open, community members will be able to enter at 8 P.M. and the shelter will remain open until 7 A.M. the next morning. The shelter is providing a place of warmth where guests will receive rest for the night and protection from the weather conditions.
