How Winter Storm Uri Impacted Texas' Homeless Community

When Winter Storm Uri struck Texas in 2021, thousands lost power and water. For people already living on the streets, there was little protection from the historic cold. At Haven for Hope in San Antonio, staff worked around the clock as demand for shelter surged beyond expectations during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Limited water access, dangerous road conditions, and communication barriers made outreach even more difficult as temperatures stayed below freezing for days. State data later showed more than a hundred deaths from hypothermia during the storm, many involving people without permanent shelter. Advocates say expanded warming centers and stronger emergency coordination have helped since Uri, but early action and community involvement remain critical to saving lives in future winter weather. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KCWX-TV™ is your trusted home for live sports coverage in Central Texas, delivering Major League Baseball, WNBA basketball, HBCU football, and HBCU basketball to viewers across San Antonio, Austin, and Central Texas.
