-

NEW ORLEANS – March 6, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) – The City is activating its Citywide Freeze Plan (CFP) overnight on Thursday, March 5, 2015, as the National Weather Service forecasts the temperature or wind chill to fall below the plan’s activation threshold of 35 degrees. The City’s freeze plan will be in effect to provide temporary shelter for homeless residents.

Residents are encouraged to seek appropriate shelter since the current weather forecast predicts wind chill temperatures slightly above freezing during the overnight hours. Residents should also bring in their pets and check on neighbors and the elderly to ensure they are prepared.

Persons needing shelter will be accepted at the following locations under the following conditions:
◾ The Salvation Army, 4530 South Claiborne Ave. – will accept males and females beginning at 4:00 p.m.
◾ Ozanam Inn, 843 Camp St. – will accept males only beginning at 4:00 p.m.
◾ Covenant House, 611 North Rampart St. – will accept males and females between the ages 16-21, their dependent children, and any female with dependent minor children. Mothers with small children may come anytime.
