Warming shelter opens for homeless youth in Colorado Springs
A temporary warming shelter has opened in Colorado Springs specifically for homeless youth who need a place to get inside for a few hours during the day.
The temporary drop-in shelter is at 223 N. Wahsatch Ave., and it's open to people aged 15-24 who are living outside or in other "marginal spaces" like cars or abandoned buildings.
It's not an overnight shelter, however, and it's open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The shelter is organized by Inside Out Youth Services and The Place, and they're providing access to a meal and basic hygiene supplies, in addition to having caseworkers and mental health clinicians available.
