Winter warming spaces open in Saint Paul
In preparation for the coldest winter months, Ramsey County has opened three warming spaces in Saint Paul for residents living without permanent housing. Through the end of February 2023, the following locations will be open every night from 9:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.:
Warming gear, like hats and gloves, light snacks and hot beverages will be provided as well as transportation to the warming spaces. A free shuttle service will run from 9 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. nightly.
Ramsey County housing services and support staff will be answering calls and emails from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. to help refer people to available warming spaces or extra shelter beds.

Ramsey County is funding cold weather warming spaces with American Rescue Plan Act funds allocated by the state of Minnesota for the 2023 fiscal year, in collaboration with the Heading Home Ramsey Continuum of Care. The family and youth warming space is being funded by state Local Homeless Prevention Aid.
