A Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries Location in Highland Park Added
Freezing cold temperatures have since descended on the city, and the city of Detroit is letting residents know that warming centers and resting locations are available to offer relief from the bitter-cold weather, according to a city press release.
The city has four warming centers, working alongside two local nonprofit homeless service providers, open from now through March 31. The city of Detroit is contracting with Cass Community Social Services and Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries (three locations) to offer temporary relief to persons who are homeless when year-round shelters may be filled, the release added. The Pope Francis Center also operates a day center at the TCF Center.
Detroit uses a coordinated entry process to access shelters and warming centers. During Coordinated Assessment Model (CAM) hours of operation, those seeking shelter or warming center placements should call to talk with a staff member to explore available shelter options. Because of COVID-19, the access points have moved from in-person to a call line. Call the Coordinated Assessment Model (CAM) at (313) 305-0311 Monday – Friday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. or Saturday. 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Veterans should call (313) 576-1580 Sunday – Saturday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. CAM staff will assist to explore alternatives to shelters or make shelter placement for the night. Outside of CAM hours of operation or on holidays, those seeking shelter should come in person to one of the following warming center locations:
