Project Now

With another cold front sweeping the Quad Cities, local shelters struggle to support unhoused individuals with capacity restrictions.

Project NOW officially opened its Lift NOW Center, located on 19th Street in downtown Rock Island. The warming shelter can house 37 people and is open daily from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Update: The emergency shelter is opening Friday, Jan. 17th, at 9 p.m. On Monday, January 13, the Rock Island City Council passed an agreement with Project NOW to transform its former headquarters at 418 19th Street into a provisional warming shelter.
