Lafayette warming shelter to open tonight at Dupuis Recreation Center

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — With a hard freeze on the way, the Lafayette Consolidated Government will open a warming shelter starting tonight.

The Dupuis Recreation Center, at 1212 E. Pont Des Mouton Road in Lafayette, will open beginning at 5 p.m. tonight for people experiencing homelessness or who lack adequate heat.

Those needing warm shelter can go to St. Joseph Diner, 613 W. Simcoe Street, starting at 4:30 p.m. tonight to be transported to the LCG warming shelter, or go in person to the Dupuis Recreation Center beginning at 5 p.m.

The warming shelter will remain open until Friday when temperatures are expected to rise above the freezing mark, officials said.

Due to the Dupuis Recreation Center serving as a warming shelter, all recreation center programming from Wednesday evening through Friday, including Brown Park Association basketball practice, has been canceled.
