WINTER RESOURCES FOR INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS

Call 211

The winter is hard for people who are experiencing homelessness or who are precariously sheltered. If you see someone outside who could benefit from a wellness check, call 2-1-1 and a Service Navigator will refer you to an outreach team in the area. You can also call 211 to get information on cold weather shelters in Manitoba.

WINTER RESOURCES SUMMARY:

• In order to make sure that people have a place to sleep during extreme cold weather, End Homelessness Winnipeg and a number of front-line organizations have released Winter Weather Response Plan 2024-2025 .
