Families are given priority in the emergency shelter but if space is available, homeless individuals will be considered. Criminal background checks and references will be contacted and final acceptance into the program will be approved by the Shelter Support Team who provides in-home support and resources. Those appropriate for the program must have had a period of mental health stability, sobriety, and safety in the community.
If there are no current vacancies in the Emergency Shelter, Our Neighbors’ Place will maintain a waiting list and will review and screen applicants. Contact a Day Center Volunteer for more information. Supports offered by the Emergency Shelter are provided by volunteers and are not considered to be any sort of professional treatment or rehabilitation. Parent’s in the program with children or dependents are fully responsible for the safety and needs of their children while residing at Our Neighbors’ Place Emergency Shelter. All guests sheltered will be expected to comply with a contractual agreement to follow all rules and recommendations and violations may result in discharge from the shelter.
