The former Cummings Elementary School building will served as a warming center for unhoused residents through the winter months.

As we move into spring, Somerville’s Winter Warming Center has concluded for the 2025-26 season. Located in the former Cummings School on Prescott Street, the Warming Center has provided shelter, food, and safety every night during this record-breaking winter. Now, the City wants to get community feedback for use in future planning efforts.

Warming center neighbors, clients, and community members are invited to a listening session about the 2025-2026 Winter Warming Center on Thursday, April 30, 2026, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Somerville High School (81 Highland Ave.) in the lower cafeteria. Attendees will get a recap of the 2025-26 season, hear uplifting stories, and have the opportunity to give feedback. The listening session will be hosted by Somerville Emergency Management in collaboration with the Health and Human Services division.
