INCLEMENT WEATHER PRESS RELEASE:

Austin Street Center, one of Dallas' largest 24/7 emergency shelters, and OurCalling, Dallas' largest daytime outreach center and street outreach ministry, are joining forces to open Fair Park's Grand Place Building as an Inclement Weather Shelter. Grand Place is large enough to accommodate over 900 homeless individuals...

Austin Street Center’s team will conduct intake at the Inclement Weather Shelter, and OurCalling’s team will run the day-to-day operations of the temporary shelter, providing meals, security, and guest care...

To make certain homeless individuals are alerted in a timely fashion, OurCalling will use its Homeless Emergency Broadcast System to send text messages instructing them to head to the Inclement Weather Shelter.

The Connector Bus, a transportation unit operated by Austin Street Center and supported by numerous homeless agencies in town will run free-of-charge transit to the Inclement Weather Shelter - stopping at pre-determined local homeless agencies for pick up. OurCalling will also step up its Search & Rescue efforts, going deep into the woods and under overpasses to find and take individuals to the shelter...

Be on the lookout - OurCalling's social media will keep you updated on everything related to the Inclement Weather Shelter! You can also visit ourcalling.org/cold to learn more.
