Tried to look into this place and the website doesn't exist so I'm guessing it doesn't operate anymore

You have to go downtown to Cherry Street to OSHA and they will place you in a available shelter if you just so happened to become overload you will be treated worse than an American citizen do not bring a lot of items with you because you will have to leave in the morning about 7 to 8 a.m. and drag all of that with you and find a place to be during the day and be back to have a place to sleep at that same place at that set time from about 7 p.m. maybe 8 p.m. that is a definite if you are not overload and they give you permanent shelter at a shelter location just follow the rules see who is more warm and welcoming and whoever is not just know you will not be there permanently I am in my permanent home I have to be in that situation for 4 months some people were there when I got there and were there when I left you will cry a lot of Tears and you may smile some smiles but please use this as a learning lesson please make sure you have enough food for your children to eat during the day
