Dr. Jennifer Avegno urges anyone who needs overnight shelter on Sunday, or Monday to call the city’s non-emergency line at 3-1-1. Help is available, and no one will be turned away due to cost, according to the The City Of NOLA's Facebook post.

Free shelter will be available starting at 4:30 p.m. at the New Orleans Mission (1130 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd.), the Salvation Army (4526 S. Claiborne Ave.), and the Low Barrier Shelter (1530 Gravier St.). These locations are open to individuals in need of a safe place to stay, as reported by the The City Of NOLA.

The Rosenwald Recreation Center at 1120 S. Broad Ave. will also open as a shelter starting at 7 p.m. Residents are encouraged to share this information with anyone who may need assistance.
