The city’s cold weather shelter activation plan kicks in when one of the following criteria is met:
The National Weather Service in Boulder said the high temperature will be around 48 degrees on Tuesday and drop to about 19 degrees overnight.
This season, families that need shelter must go in person with their children to the Inn at the Highlands, 2601 Zuni St. Vouchers will no longer be issued over the phone.
Intake hours for family shelter vouchers begin at 7 a.m. on the day the shelter is activated. Voucher capacity has been expanded and staffing at the Connection Center has been increased.
