Saving Grace – Emergency Shelter

We often hear how this space feels more like a home than what someone normally thinks of when they hear the word “shelter.” It provides safe, emergency housing for survivors and their minor children in a confidential location. In each of the eight individual bedrooms, colorful, handmade quilts cover the beds. The communal living area is bright and open, with a double kitchen attached to the great room, so residents cooking meals can watch their children play. During their stay, residents not only receive food, clothing and hygiene items, but also case management, resources and referrals, peer counseling, and additional support in achieving their goals.
