Hartford Opens Daytime Warming Centers

Press release from the Hartford County Government:

HARTFORD, CT — The City of Hartford has announced that temporary daytime warming centers will be open today (Friday, Feb. 3) due to extremely cold conditions forecasted for the remainder of the week.

“We’ve enjoyed relatively warm weather this winter season, but with this blast of extremely cold weather, we want to make sure every resident has access to warm shelter during the daytime,” said Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin. “I encourage all residents in need of warmth and shelter to visit one of our warming centers, and I want to thank our fire department and health and human services teams, as well as Catholic Charities, for stepping up to provide these warming centers.”

The city is also supporting overnight warming centers, which residents can utilize through the weekend.

Hartford adults seeking an overnight warming center should visit 110 Washington St., while young adults and families with children should visit the Marshall House at 333 Homestead Ave.

Both will be open 24 hours a day until Sunday at 12 PM.
