homless-shelterTwo inclement weather homeless shelters in downtown San Diego will open their doors overnight to those seeking refuge as strong winter storms drench the region.

Father Joe’s Villages, 1501 Imperial Ave., can accommodate 250 people. Check-in begins at 4 p.m. and guests must leave by 5 a.m. the next day.

PATH San Diego/Connections Housing at 1250 Sixth Ave. has room for 30 people. Guests can check in from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and have to be out by 7 a.m.

Officials said meals will be provided at both locations.

The shelters are opened during severe weather conditions, either 50 degrees or below or a 40 percent or greater chance of rain, according to the San Diego Housing Commission, which oversees homeless programs.
