Citywide Inclement Weather Shelter Information

In the city of Irving, TX, during the winter on any day when the forecasted low temperature is expected to fall to 32 degrees or below the Irving Community Action Network (ICAN) shall implement its Inclement Weather Plan (IWP) and the Irving Inclement Weather Shelter.

The shelter is located at Christ Church 1752 E. Airport Freeway, Irving TX 75062. It will be housed in a 12,000 sq. ft. warehouse facility w/men’s and women’s restrooms, showers and lockers. It also includes plenty of space for our guests, including cots, intake, meal service, storage, etc.

The purpose of the Inclement Weather Plan (IWP) is to provide the location(s), and emergency shelter for Irving street homeless living without a warm, dry, and safe place to escape the weather extremes. Inclement weather is defined as when the temperature is forecasted to be below 32 degrees. This is based on temperature only and does not include wind chill or “real feel” temperature. In cases of other extreme weather forecasted (i.e., snow, ice, etc.) the emergency shelter may be opened at the discretion of the ICAN Inclement Weather staff
