Longmont’s HOPE — Homeless Outreach Providing Encouragement — has opened its emergency weather shelter at Journey Church, 2000 Pike Road.
The emergency shelter offers 49 beds, said HOPE’s Volunteer and Outreach Director Andy Schwartz, who said the shelter has been close to capacity.
The line for the shelter starts at 5:30 p.m. Schwartz said those who are homeless should first call Boulder County’s Coordinated Entry services, the first stop for people moving through the system. The Longmont number is 303-579-7364.
Individuals can use the emergency shelter for one night before they are required to call Coordinated Entry, he said.
HOPE also has a day shelter open 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday through Friday at Journey Church, according to the website. A day shelter is open noon to 6 p.m. Saturdays at FaithPoint office and warehouse, 804 S. Lincoln St.
The day shelter includes meals and showers, Schwartz said. Individuals can charge their phones, access the internet and connect with case management.
The emergency shelter is opened sporadically through the winter, Schwartz said.
