OPERATION DEEP FREEZE (ODF) IS ON UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. A limited number of overflow shelter beds are available for people seeking safe shelter from the weather.
Operation Deep Freeze (ODF) is Tucson's winter severe weather emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness. ODF goes into effect when weather predictions are for overnight temperatures of 40°F or lower with rain, 35°F or lower without rain, or when wind chill factors indicate a health hazard from exposure. You do not need an ID or a TB card to participate in ODF.
To join ODF, go to the Salvation Army Hospitality House, 1002 N. Main Ave., between 2 - 4 p.m., for intake. Dinner is served between 5 - 6 p.m. Sister Jose and Primavera also have overflow beds available.
