Inclement Weather Program

People experiencing homelessness are at a higher risk of developing health issues like hypothermia, frostbite, heat stroke, and other health hazards, during periods of inclement weather, and can be life threatening, if exposed to the elements for a prolonged period. The Inclement Weather Program (IWP) was created to provide additional shelter services through hotel/motel vouchers, during periods of inclement weather.

When the County of San Diego’s Inclement Weather Program is activated, unsheltered people residing within the unincorporated areas that are affected can call our contractor to be connected to a local provider of hotel/motel vouchers. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: The hotel/motel vouchers are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis while they are still available, and are only for people living in the areas that have been activated.
