Shelter for non- DV related issues

We have a small, extremely limited capacity shelter.

​

We do NOT have a waitlist and will not publicly post if/when we have availability or capacity.

​

If we have capacity, our shelter is first come, first serve. In order to qualify, the client must be actively fleeing domestic violence or intimate partner violence.

​

This is a non-confidential shelter.
