A Lexington homeless shelter opened for the season on Thursday, a day after city officials said its opening would be delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. The source does not describe what those circumstances were.
Hope Village Winter Shelter, located at 1306 Versailles Road, opened at 4 p.m. Thursday and will remain open until April 1, 2027. The shelter’s opening offers a place of shelter for neighbors during the winter months, a practice of hospitality to those in need (Matthew 25:35).
The shelter asks all residents to enter from the road using a fenced-in pedestrian walkway. A sign directing them should be visible from the front of the property.
Residents who drive to the shelter should park only on shelter property. The shelter warns that vehicles parked on private property may be towed.
