The Council for the Homeless Housing Solutions Center has issued a severe weather notice for Friday night, asking emergency shelters in Vancouver to expand capacity if needed.

Forecasts indicate temperatures could reach lows in the upper 20s.

People seeking shelter need to call the Housing Hotline at 360-695-9677. The hotline is open 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday, and 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Additional shelter space may open during severe weather and the Housing Hotline can direct people in need to an available shelter.
