Cold night shelters in Pinellas County will be open on Friday, Jan. 28 and Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022, the Homeless Leadership Alliance announced today. The shelters will open between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Shelter guests are accepted from when the shelters open each night until the shelter is full. All sites provide a warm and safe place to sleep, and many sites also serve a meal.
