In November 1998, the City Council offered its support of a 1998-99 "Out of the Cold"
winter shelter, operated by the Santa Clarita Community Development Corporation. City
Council allocated $10,000 toward the shelter's operation, and offered the Santa Clarita
Sports Complex, Building 1, as a shelter location.
The shelter became operational on December 1, 1998, and closed its doors on April 30, 1999.
An average of 18 clients stayed in the shelter each night. During the course of the shelter's
operation, clients (often the same clients, who returned each night) used over 2,100 beds
and meals. The shelter's busiest night was February 11, when 29 clients (21 males and 8
females) accessed services.
