In Harvey’s aftermath, shelters are opening all over Houston.

In addition to the makeshift refugee camps, the city is opening some facilities, including libraries, as multi-service centers where displaced residents can seek safety during the day.

The multi-service centers will not be offering places to sleep, but authorities want to assure the public none of the facilities will check immigration status, though individuals are searched at the door. A list of shelters and multi-service centers is below.

Shelters are filling up quickly, but the city is working hard to find a place for everyone.

Emergency management officials urge people to call the shelter before they go there, if possible.

Houston’s biggest shelter, the George R. Brown convention center, is over-capacity with over 9,000 evacuees.

However people are still flooding through the doors, and volunteers ensure no one will be turned away.

The Red Cross is working hard to staff the shelter and says they plan to do what it takes to serve everyone.

Originally, the George R. Brown convention center was expected to hold at most 5,000 people, and the shelters need volunteers to help them run.

Volunteer nurses and social workers are gravely needed, but you can also donate directly to the shelters by bringing supplies to them on-site.

Requested supplies include towels, clothing for adults and children, socks, pillows, blankets and yoga mats.

If you can’t bring supplies, you can donate funds:

The Red Cross is accepting donations via phone at 1-800-RED-CROSS or by texting HARVEY to 90999. Each text message represents a $10 donation.

You can also donate on iTunes, and the Salvation Army is collecting donations via 1-800-SAL-ARMY.
