Story
We are a year-round, 24/7/365 emergency shelter dedicated to providing safe housing, meals, and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Our mission is to offer a compassionate, stable environment where clients can access the resources, they need to rebuild their lives. This shelter offers individuals the opportunity to stay for longer periods—30, 60, 90 days, or however long they need to find permanent housing. During their stay, guests will have access to comprehensive support services, including case management, employment resources, and health services. Instead of just a place to sleep, the emergency shelter acts as an entry point for people to access the help they need to get back on their feet.
