Description
Emergency shelter is available for adults who are experiencing homelessness. The Emergency Shelter program provides beds on a first-come, first-served basis, to anyone who does not have a safe place to sleep. Shelters provide a warm and safe place to sleep as well as on-site assessment and case management. Programs offer various onsite services for those accessing shelter.
Low barrier shelters are operated by non-profit organizations under contract with the Department of Human Services. Shelter capacity is expanded during the winter months for residents who are at risk of hypothermia.
