What is the Augmented Winter Shelter Program

The Augmented Winter Shelter program (AWSP) is a subset program of WSP as it provides low-barrier, safe, and supportive emergency shelters for individuals experiencing homelessness but is "activated" during severe cold and wet weather conditions also known as inclement weather. The program aims to protect individuals from contracting hypothermia, pneumonia, and any medical or health-related conditions induced because of extreme cold and wet weather.

The Office of Emergency Management monitors forecasted weather conditions and coordinates with various stakeholders that assess and determine if activation of the Augmented Winter Shelter Program is necessary to assist unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness to come indoors, such as when the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issues a Cold Weather Alert or the National Weather Service forecasts weather with the following conditions:

  • The National Weather Service (NWS) forecast calls for three (3) days of low daytime temperatures accompanied by night wind chill temperatures of 32 degrees or less
  • The forecast calls for 1 inch of rain in 24 hours
  • The forecast calls for three (3) consecutive days of 1/4-inch rainfall or more accompanied by temperatures at or below 50 degrees
  • The National Weather Service (NWS) issues a flood watch or warning
  • Conditions not previously identified by the plan but for which it would be prudent to do so based upon critical need

When activated, individuals can call 1-800-548-6047 to request transportation services to the closest motel location.
