2008 LOUISVILLE STREET TIPS   

A resource for Singles, Families or Teens

INTRODUCTION

The Louisville Street Tips booklet is produced and published by The Coalition for the Homeless. It is intended to be a quick reference guide for those in immediate need of shelter or services. In addition, we hope that service providers will find this guide useful in providing referrals to our homeless population and others in need.

OPERATION WHITE FLAG

The Coalition for the Homeless coordinates a program to ensure that homeless people can find shelter during severe weather emergencies. It goes into effect when:

  1. The temperature or the wind chill is at 35 degrees or lower, OR the temperature or heat index is 95 degrees or higher, OR an ozone alert has been called.
  1. A white flag will fly outside each participating agency to show that Operation White is in effect. As long as one of the weather conditions listed in #1 above continues, you may remain inside at any of the participating agencies. It does not mean a bed will be available.
  1. If you are not eligible for services at a particular shelter, the staff may not let you in. If not, they should attempt to find you another place to stay.
  1. If a shelter is full and transportation is needed, Wayside Christian Mission will provide a ride to another White Flag Shelter.

THE FOLLOWING SHELTERS PARTICIPATE IN OPERATION WHITE FLAG:

(S) St. Vincent DePaul                   (Men)                                                  584-2480
