• We are an emergency shelter for single men (up to one month) and families (up to two months)
• Case Management:
  The Case Manager assists our clients in identifying needs, barriers, strengths, and challenges in an effort to set achievable goals. Through referrals, advocacy, weekly meetings, educational sessions, and transportation clients increase their awareness of self and services, decrease barriers, and connect to additional supportive services.  These services include health, treatment and employment programs. If support networks or social services are present when clients exit shelter, it is more likely that they will have the capacity to address future barriers, increase self-sufficiency, and maintain permanent housing.
• Laundry facilities

• Local bus tickets
• Community education
