Resources for Our Unhoused Neighbors

Inclement weather is sweeping the country, and Montgomery County is no exception. If you or your neighbor need shelter services during this time, please refer to the following resources. 

Montgomery County Health and Human Services staff, as well as community-based providers, will continue to reach out to homeless community members to urge them to seek shelter during periods of extreme cold temperatures. Residents concerned about the well-being of a homeless individual can call the 24-hour Line at 240-907-2688. Outreach partners will attempt to locate the individual and offer resources and support.

• Individuals in need of daytime warming centers should call the 24 hour Homeless Resource Line at 240-907-2688 for location information.
• Individuals in need of Emergency Shelter should call the Crisis Center at 240-777-4000 or present themselves at 1301 Piccard Drive, Rockville, MD 20850. 

Residents in need of a place to warm up can visit County facilities such as libraries or recreation centers, or ride a Ride On bus, during normal operating hours. 

Extreme cold is dangerous; make sure to keep yourself equipped this holiday season.
