The Concord Emergency Winter Shelter (Winter Shelter) provides a critical safety net for some of Concord’s most vulnerable residents during life-threatening winter conditions. The Winter Shelter serves up to 40 adult individuals per night and is staffed with two employees per night. The shelter will open December 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, from 6:00 PM until 7:00 AM every day.
Operated with a “low barrier” approach, all are welcome as long as their behavior is not disruptive or dangerous. Low barrier shelters are considered a “best practice” by the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness and are a critical piece of an effective homeless response system.
