Antelope Valley — first listings live
These Antelope Valley resources (Lancaster & Palmdale) are compiled from official LA County and organization sources. We're still confirming each one by phone, so please call ahead to verify hours and intake before you go.
Extreme heat or cold?
The high desert gets dangerously hot in summer and freezing at night in winter. The county and cities open free cooling centers and warming centers during declared extreme-weather events — but they are only open when activated, not every day. Always call first: Lancaster Public Safety (661) 723-6063, or dial 211 for LA County to find a site open today. A public library is open, air-conditioned (and heated), free, and asks no questions — often the most reliable place to get out of the weather.
