Called inquiring about the women's shelter. Homelessness doesn’t end on weekends. Female on phone tells me they don’t have staff for the woman’s shelter on the weekend, but they do for the men’s, and to call back Monday. Any help for women is trash no matter what state.

Not all that bad just your mind set 24 hours open 3 healthy meals a day not what you want but it’s what you need especially being homeless.

Clyesha Simmons | Oct 19, 2018
Caroline Grove | Oct 19, 2018

With it being this cold out and needing a place to stay just ask your local police officer and if there not busy the will drive you so far and a Cincinnati officer will take you the rest of the way. My brother was in the men's shelter and they found him a apartment and he moved in a few days ago. If your serious there is help.

Eric Miles | Oct 19, 2017
James Myers | Oct 19, 2017

@Eric Miles All you need is an ID and knowledge of your social security number...the last four digits are used as your Vesta log in password. And bring whatever clothes you would need that would fit in a locker, backpack or small suitcase
