Current Shelter Levels

This is our current ability to shelter more people today,

Families?	No. At Capacity
Women?	No. At Capacity
Men?	No. At Capacity

We are often at capacity. Unfortunately, demand for homeless services —expecially shelter— is far greater than supply most of the time. We continue to look for more donors to increase capicity at the Good Shepherd Mission.

When shelter is available for some who are homeless, case managers and the director must approve people entering the Good Shepherd Mission for extended stays. Those that are allowed in volunteer to enter the Lodger Program.

Some families are permitted to have extended lodging arrangements by working in collaboration with case management and the director. The goal for lodging services is for a successful transition to self sufficiency.

Lodging may be denied or terminated because of health, safety or security and other reasons at any time.

Persons seeking shelter must call the Mission for a pre-case manager interview.

Showers, toiletries and clean clothes are available without charge.
