Dallas keeps cold‑weather shelter open as nonprofits assist unhoused residents
Dallas’ inclement‑weather shelter will remain open for the next several days as dangerously cold temperatures continue. The city is working with nonprofit partners OurCalling and Austin Street Center to keep people experiencing homelessness safe now and help them work toward long‑term stability before the next freeze. Volunteers and staff say the work is driven by compassion, and city partners call the rapid 24‑hour deployment of the emergency shelter “nothing short of a miracle.”
