WE ARE HERE TO HELP

Available Night by Night Shelter bed entries will be assigned at 3:30 PM each day in the Community Services Center (Building 7). Guests must be present at that time to confirm their bed; otherwise, they will be skipped over and moved to the end of the list.

All guests begin in our Night by Night Shelter, which provides a safe place to sleep nightly from 7 PM – 7 AM. Guests may bring one bag and may stay for up to 30 days while waiting for a long-term shelter bed. As beds open in the long-term shelter, guests from NxN may be moved over to continue their pathway toward housing and begin working with a Housing Specialist. If you’re interested in a NxN bed, check in with a Safety Ambassador in Building 1 Monday – Friday between 8:30 AM – 3 PM to get an updated intake and to have your name placed on the standby list. The standby list is reset weekly on Mondays. Available NxN bed entries will be assigned at 3:30 PM each day in the Community Services Center (Building 7).
