Support Services
Tackling the Issue
Most of our efforts pertaining to the shelter involve studying new approaches and developing innovative ways to implement them. We provide wrap around services which include behavioral health services through a community partner, job/skills training and care coordination to ensure better outcomes. We also offer a COLD NIGHT SHELTER without regular program screenings for people needing shelter on nights 32 degrees and below.
