Lead Coordinator: The Reverend Randy Fikki initiated this shelter within the church and now coordinates with the city during extreme temperatures and high-demand overflow.

Purpose: Unity Southeast Kansas City aims to offer a safe space for unhoused individuals during severe weather conditions.
Availability: The shelter opens when the weather poses a significant risk, such as extremely low temperatures and extremely high temperatures.
