For Individuals Seeking Temporary Emergency Shelter

If you are a Berlin resident currently experiencing homelessness per HUD's definition (unsheltered on the streets or living in a place not fit for human habitation/not meant for human habitation, in a car or other vehicle) during an extreme weather event (storms, below normal temperatures) once the Welfare office has closed for the day or on a weekend please go to the Berlin Police department. They will access the severe weather event protocol currently in place. This is for short term 1 to 3-day placement for severe weather events through April (or until funding is depleted). (Shelters will always be contacted first to determine if space is available.)
