Overflow Capacity Available Through December 1, 2022
As the overnight temperatures typically begin to drop considerably in mid-November, the county’s three shelters serving single adults will operate with overflow capacity available. Overflow space at these facilities is limited. Shelter staff will work to help identify safe alternatives if capacity is reached.
Additional capacity through the Hypothermia Prevention Program will begin on December 1.
Fairfax County has six emergency shelters for individuals and families who are homeless. These shelters are operated by community nonprofit organizations under contract with the county. Shelters have additional capacity during winter months to take in people overnight who are at risk of hypothermia. If you see someone at night who is unsheltered and you think could be at risk of hypothermia, call the county’s non-emergency phone line at 703-691-2131, TTY 711.
