Why Seek Emergency Shelter?
Shelter is so much more than a roof over one’s head. Much of the homeless population suffers from mental and physical health issues, from infections to chronic health issues to mental health disorders. These types of problems can be exacerbated by exposure to the elements, dirt, and germs involved with living on the street, while also reducing access to critical care and medications. Shelter offers clean sleeping quarters, a chance to refresh the body in a warm shower, and clean clothes. It also reduces the risk of exposure to and victimization of violence and exploitation.
We know that one night of shelter can make a difference and give a bit of humanity to the often faceless and forgotten homeless population. Shelter can be a stepping stone to permanent housing and provides the opportunity needed for those in need to access social services and a support system of caring community members.
