In another email to councilmembers, Sarah Axelrath, a street medicine physician with the Stout Street Health Center, wrote,"People experiencing unsheltered homelessness are often reluctant to access emergency shelters unless absolutely necessary and may not present during moderate cold temperatures between 10 degrees and 32 degrees.
"Now that we have the concept of daytime warming or cooling centers, we are going to revisit those thresholds," Thomas said.Day Resource Center"When winter conditions are more dangerous during the day, our outreach teams go out more and stay out later to offer people transportation to shelter. The Aurora Cold Weather Outreach Team is activated on evenings when the weather is predicted to be 20 degrees or below, or if there is cold weather and precipitation," Bryant says.
And in Broomfield, the city and county activates its Severe Weather Action Plan when it's 32 degrees or below and raining or snowing or 20 degrees below and dry. At these times, a local nonprofit agency, Almost Home, assesses"each individual situation and may administer hotel/motel vouchers directly to individuals as the weather poses a threat to the well-being and lives of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness.
