Cold Weather Emergency Shelter
The Orange County Cold Weather Emergency Shelter is a seasonal program (usually December – March) that has historically operated at the California National Guard Armory site in Santa Ana and Fullerton. Traditionally, the program provides overnight shelter to adult individuals experiencing homelessness in Orange County that are vulnerable and exposed to the outside weather elements and provides essential services that include nutritious meals, warm showers, a safe place to sleep, clothes, supportive services, and a friendly atmosphere. Additional information will be shared in the future.
