Samaritan House is working with other members of Collaborative Housing Solutions of Northwest Montana to prepare for winter storm overflow at its main shelter during the subzero forecast for this weekend.
In anticipation of dangerously low temperatures, the organization has created space for more individuals, families and veterans to seek shelter during the storm, according to a press release. Samaritan House officials also are working with other organizations to find the appropriate place for people based on individual needs.
The organization’s shelter program policy allows residents to stay inside when temperatures are below 32 degrees.
