Cold Night Shelters in St. Petersburg Open Jan. 26

Jan. 26, 2026 - Cold night shelters are open Monday, Jan 26 at multiple locations across St. Pete. The Homeless Leadership Alliance has coordinated with local shelters to ensure that individuals in need have a warm and safe place to sleep. Shelters are activated when the National Weather Service expects a "feels like" temperature below 40 degrees across the county between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Shelter guests are accepted until the shelter is full.

The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) will provide free bus rides to and from cold night shelters from 5 p.m. Tuesday through 7 a.m. Wednesday. Riders must tell PSTA drivers they are going to a Pinellas Cold Night Shelter when boarding to ride fare-free.
