City Hall in Winter by Bob Coe

Cambridge has a network of homeless service providers, faith-based partners, and public services that coordinate efforts during extreme weather conditions.

Winter storms and extreme temperatures pose a severe risk to the safety and health of people remaining outdoors. If you see someone on the street and are concerned about them, please contact the FirstStep Street Outreach team at 617-864-0795, or call 911 if it is a medical emergency.

For more information: View the 2016-17 Cambridge Winter Plan or the quick Winter Sheet. Questions and comments can be sent to Planning Development.
