As temperatures plummeted to dangerous levels for residents and massive outages affected thousands, the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas became a resource spot for those in need.
While the convention center is also the site of a shelter for people who do not have a home, on the opposite site of the building, there is space separately for those who are just without heat for the night and need to stay warm. The convention center is also a vaccination hub, which is now closed due to the weather.
The quick-turn operations led to confusion about the difference between the shelter and warming center.
