Shelter Services

Emergency Shelter services are a time critical intervention for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our community. All shelter services are facilitated with the low-barrier & Housing First principles.  Shelter services are intended to be short term while permanent housing solutions are developed. Each person or household works with a Housing Case Manager to identify a permanent housing plan. Each site provides daily meals, basic hygiene supplies, wraparound support to support each person with their unique needs.
