Teresa dodge | Sep 28, 2021

So do you have to pay to stay at this place.?

Teresa Alarid | Sep 28, 2020
Abagael Hupko | Sep 28, 2020

No. But if you are planning on staying there longer than 2 weeks. You will have to look for a job then when you have a job you give them 10% of your check they give that back to you when you move out. Its like a savings account you cant touch until you move out. There chores you have to do. But its a really good system. There's also the upper level where you go through a discipleship and its more effective but you have to go to there church and do there program. Anything else just ask. I ve been there twice for a year

Teresa Alarid | Sep 28, 2020

Barbara Mortela | Sep 29, 2019

As long as you provide the case manager a copy of your work schedule, they will allow you to sleep during the day and work graveyards.

So no phones and no cigarettes... How long can you stay at this place

Crystolleea Merrill | Sep 29, 2018

It is a night by night shelter. You have to leave each day and return by 6pm the next night to receive case management and have your stay extended another night.

What r the rules can you smoke

Crystolleea Merrill | Sep 29, 2018
Julie Jones | Sep 29, 2018

There is a smoke break around 7:30pm. After that no smoking until you leave the next morning. 6:45am is the first let out.

What are the rules

Crystolleea Merrill | Sep 29, 2018
Julie Jones | Sep 29, 2018

The basic rules are you need to check in by 6pm each night unless you have a job or court ordered classes. You cannot bring any open food or drinks into the building but meals and snacks are provided. For safety reasons anything not searched by staff as well as ypur phone and any cigarettes have to be locked up while you are in the shelter. Generally the rules help maintain the safety and peace for a large group of people staying in a small area.
