Shelter Programs

IMPACT

Over 18,000 nights of shelter provided.

​

56% of residents who exited shelter are in permanent housing.

​

113 unduplicated families were provided safe shelter in 2020.

We have two shelter programs: Our Emergency Family Shelter (EFS) which provides shelter for families and the Individuals/Single Shelter that provides shelter for single individuals.  

​

When people come to us or call us in their time of need, we work hard to divert them from homelessness by creatively problem solving  with them. This is a process called "diversion". When we can't successfully divert them from homelessness and we have bed availability, they become a resident through our "intake" process.

​

Our staff assess what resources and programs are available to them to help them on their journey towards self-sufficiency and permanent housing.

​

During their time with Shalom Center, residents meet with their assigned case manager to set goals, find programs, and keep on track towards different milestones.
