Hypothermia Outreach Team (HOT) Training

The severe weather in winter makes homelessness more immediately life-threatening, especially during hypothermia season (from November 1 through March 31). Every winter, Washington, DC city government agencies, faith communities, and nonprofit organizations provide emergency services to support individuals experiencing homelessness. Join the Center for Social Justice to participate in the Hypothermia Outreach Team (HOT) on cold winter nights.
