Shelters

Our 852 available shelter beds provide a safe, temporary home and support services for participants during their transition out of homelessness.

Living on the streets is tough – mentally, physically, and emotionally. To survive, those experiencing homelessness need access to basic services and safe spaces to be – both during the day and at night. 

Through our shelters and Resource Center, we provide support to individuals at all stages of their journey from homelessness to permanent housing.
