UPDATE: The city of San Diego has urgently activated its inclement weather shelter program for tonight, providing essential refuge for those experiencing homelessness as severe weather approaches. The San Diego Housing Commission confirmed that shelters will open in response to conditions expected to drop below 50 degrees with a 40% chance of rain, or below 45 degrees regardless of rain.
Tonight’s shelters include:
– **Living Water Church of the Nazarene** at 1550 Market St. with a capacity for 28 adults. Check-in begins at 8 p.m. and reservations can be made on-site from 1-4 p.m.. Guests must vacate by 6:30 a.m. the following morning.

As weather conditions worsen, the city urges those in need to seek shelter immediately, as beds are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
This program is activated during specific weather conditions, including when an inch or more of rain falls within 24 hours or during sustained high winds. The initiative typically runs from November through March, ensuring that vulnerable populations have access to safe shelter during harsh weather.
Residents are encouraged to share this urgent information to help those in need find shelter tonight. The city remains committed to supporting the homeless community during these critical weather conditions.
