Anyone who is sleeping outside is encouraged to come to the Cliff Block, where shelter spaces will be available. The initial weather alert began was called for Jan. 8 to 15, but has now been extended until Monday, Jan. 20.
Shelter spaces are available in the lower level of the Cliff Block at 606 Clarkson St. (at Sixth St.) starting at 8 p.m.
“If you are sleeping outside, please come to the shelter,” said the extreme weather response alert.
