Navigating extreme weather events can be difficult for Nashville residents but especially traumatic for those who are unhoused during these severe systems.
The Office of Homeless Services monitor the weather daily. During the cold weather season and during severe weather, the Office of Homeless Services operate an extreme weather shelter.
Extreme Heat Response and Patrols
Metro Extreme Cold Weather Overflow Shelter
