Springfield s cold weather shelters open on nights when the National Weather Service predicts the overnight temperature to dip down to 32 degrees or colder.
The shelters opened on 72 nights this past winter, according to information presented at the Ozarks Alliance to End Homelessness board meeting on Wednesday.
An average of 80 people were served each night the shelters were open, Community Partnership of the Ozarks Continuum of Care Coordinator Amanda Stadler told the board. In February, we saw the highest number of folks served per night, Stadler said, adding that 112 was the nightly average in February.
