City of St. Louis and Community Partners Announce Additional Shelter Beds Ahead of Cold Weekend Weather

Based on successes from last year’s Winter Weather Plan, the City of St. Louis has been working closely with National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists to ensure safety for St. Louisans. Earlier this week, NWS partners notified the City that the St. Louis area is expected to reach low temperatures over the next few days. In accordance with Executive Order 99, the City’s Emergency Management Agency then convened representatives from NWS, the Mayor’s Office, Department of Health and Department of Human Services to ensure alignment for this weekend’s temperatures.

As an outcome of that meeting, the City and its partners have secured 100 overflow beds (a total of approximately 500 beds) for those who may need shelter between November 13-15, Friday through Sunday night. Shelter space is available for men, women, and families, beginning Friday at 6 p.m.

If you or someone you know needs assistance, please call 2-1-1. United Way phone operators will be able to identify shelter locations and which have space available.

The City of St. Louis will share more information regarding Code Blue implementation when the program officially begins December 1, 2026.
