SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In preparation for the forecasted low overnight temperatures, Sacramento County is planning to open two warming centers for people who need a warm place to stay.
The Sacramento County warming centers will be open from 7:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
The centers are at:
- Creekside Adult School: 2641 Kent Drive, Sacramento
- DHA Annex: 1725 28th Street, Sacramento
Sacramento Regional Transit is offering buses to transport people to these centers as well at the following locations:
- Stockton and Fruitridge
- Watt Ave and Poplar
- Loaves and Fishes (Bus stop at Ahern)
- Natomas Park Drive near Garden Highway
In response to the recent statewide mask mandate, facial coverings will be required and provided to all visitors.
The warming centers will be providing snacks, water, cots for sleeping, and a safe place for unhoused people to reside during these colder temperatures. Pets are welcome on-site, but must remain on a leash or in a carrier.
In addition to the Sacramento County-operated warming centers, there are also several other locations throughout the county.
Dec. 17-18
- Sacramento City Hall: 915 I Street, Sacramento (8:00 pm – 8:00 am)
