About the Program

Since 2005, the Hypothermia Prevention

Program has prevented death and serious

injuries among Fairfax County’ s most vulnerable

residents by ensuring that no one must sleep

outside during the winter months. This program

- available to any adult in need of immediate

shelter - provides warm shelter, food, and other

supportive services to help connect guests to a

variety of basic needs such as clothing,

employment, housing, and more.

contact Coordinated Services Planning at

703-222-0880 (TTY 711), Monday - Friday, from

8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., for referrals to

family-oriented support and services. If you
