Programs and Services:
- Work Contract Program: In the winter of 1990-91, in order to
move beyond temporary solutions to homelessness, the Shelter established the
program now known as the work-contract program, to provide more intensive
assistance to guests making the transition from homelessness to independent
living. Guests are provided with long-term beds, save money towards
housing, and actively search for housing.
- Resource Center: Volunteers man and maintain a resource center
every evening where all guests can have their questions about community resources
such as healthcare, housing, documentation, and food answered.
- Computer and printer use with internet connection
- One washer and dryer for guest use
- Blankets and food available at the door for guests and non-guests;
guests receive breakfast and dinner
- If no beds are available at HSHS, staff will make referrals
to other area shelters upon request. T-tokens are available for referrals
to other shelters only, and there is a 3 tokens per week limit per
guest.
