In addition to providing a bed, a place to shower, and two hot meals a day, our case managers concentrate on helping residents identify problems that may have contributed to their homelessness. Some of these issues include substance abuse, employment and/or education deficiencies, financial mismanagement and mental health.
Staff assist each resident in developing realistic goals to overcome their situations. Substance abuse meetings, motivational, and ‘Life Skills Enrichment’ meetings are conducted weekly at the shelter.
