DRMM has been chosen by the City of Detroit as one of its preferred providers for warming center assistance for Detroit residents who are in need of a break from the winter chill.

DRMM’s emergency shelter, located at 3535 Third St. Detroit, MI 48201, will now also act as a warming center, and will provide extended hours when weather forecasts call for low temperatures.
