What Are Connecticut’s Cold Weather Shelters and Warming Centers?

Connecticut’s cold weather shelters and warming centers are safe, warm, indoor locations for residents to find refuge from dangerously cold temperatures. These facilities are a critical part of the state’s emergency response, designed to protect the most vulnerable populations, including individuals and families experiencing homelessness, from life-threatening conditions like hypothermia and frostbite.

Below you will find important links for help documentation as well as a registration form for training.
