Lexington Activates Community Emergency Winter Weather Plan for Homeless

Lexington Activates Community Emergency Winter Weather Plan for Homeless
John Bobel
December 1, 2020

The LFUCG Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention has extended the activation of the Community Emergency Winter Weather Plan until the morning of Friday, December 4th. With the arrival of winter weather and a biting wind chill, Lexington has also activated its Community Emergency Winter Weather Plan for shelters. Shelters have added capacity, but the process to access shelter has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Anyone needing shelter in the surrounding counties, can go to uwbg211.org.

Updates to Plan Effective for Activation Period 12/2 – 12/3

Due to community spread, details of the plan can change with each activation. Please see below for changes to the plan that will affect this activation period:
  • If you see someone in need, please contact the Lexington Street Outreach Team at 859-533-9199 (until 10:00pm) or 859-551-8053 (until 6:00pm) and then 859-494-0470 (10:00pm until 8:00am) to make arrangements for shelter.
  • Anyone wishing to receive activation alerts via their cell phone can now sign up by texting the word LEXSHELTER to 888777.
