Information for those who might benefit from it.

As cold weather settles in, the Washington County Office of Emergency Management wants to share an important resource for our community.

The Homeless Coalition Street Guide provides information on warming locations, shelters, food resources, and other critical services available in Washington County. It’s a helpful tool for anyone who may need assistance—or who may encounter someone in need during these cold temperatures.

Checking on neighbors and knowing where help is available can make a real difference.
