Cold night shelters in Pinellas County will be open Monday night, Feb. 23, the Homeless Leadership Alliance has announced. The shelters will be open from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.<\/p>\n
Shelter guests are accepted until the shelter is full. All sites provide a warm and safe place to sleep, and many sites also serve a meal. Shelters are activated when the National Weather Service expects the \u201cfeels like\u201d temperature to hit 40 degrees or below across the county between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.<\/p>\n
