The coming nights will be very cold. Therefore, from Friday, January 9, 2026, until Sunday, January 11, 2026, extra measures will be taken for homeless people.

Care providers, police, and enforcement encourage homeless people who are not yet using the shelter to come inside during this cold period. And if necessary, we will provide extra shelter places. 

These extra measures are taken when the perceived temperature drops below -10 degrees Celsius. This ensures a warm, safe place for homeless people and prevents the risk of frostbite due to extreme cold.

Registration

Registration takes place via the Broad Central Access in Haarlem. The address is Wilhelminastraat 10, 2011 VM in Haarlem. For more information, see the website of GGD Kennemerland(link is external)
