A Safe Place to Turn in Times of Crisis

Our Emergency Shelter provides short-term accommodation for individuals facing immediate housing crises, offering stays of up to 3 months at a time. The shelter includes three dorm-style rooms, each accommodating up to 10 guests, with dividers to ensure privacy and comfort.

For those needing immediate overnight refuge, we also offer 15 one-night stay spaces with individual mattresses. In total, we provide 45 emergency shelter spaces, with the flexibility to expand during extreme weather conditions or times of heightened community need.

At the heart of our services is a commitment to safety, dignity, and compassionate support—ensuring everyone has a place to turn when they need it most.
