The Plano Overnight Warming Station (POWS) provides short-term emergency housing to those in our community who would otherwise be sleeping outside during freezing/inclement weather. Specifically, POWS will open when the weather forecast includes a standing temperature of 32 degrees or a temperature of 40 degrees along with a 50% chance of precipitation. The weather forecast for tonight meets those conditions. As a result, The POWS will be open tonight.
The POWS is located at 3528 14th St. in Plano at The Salvation Army. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
To contact someone at the POWS, please call 214-988-9434. Press “0” to be connected to a representative. If you have trouble reaching someone at POWS during their hours of operation, please let us know.
POWS makes their decision whether or not to open every day. That decision is posted on their website:
http://pows.collincares.org/menu.php
Transportation To/From POWS:
On night that POWS is activated, they have a shuttle that stops at three designated locations between the hours of 6:30 pm & 9:00 p.m.
These locations are:
1) Harrington Library (18th/P Avenue) – Shuttle scheduled to arrive at 6:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
2) DART (Parker Rd) Station – Shuttle scheduled to arrive at 6:40 pm, 7:40 p.m. & 8:40 p.m.
After 8:30 p.m., anyone in Plano that needs to get to the facility would have to be transported by alternate means. Nobody will be admitted to POWS after 10:30 p.m. unless they are accompanied by Plano Police or Plano Fire-Rescue personnel.
