They provide 3 meals,shower, toiletries,mental health services, free store service's, life skills class and a place to sleep. They have three dorms Red dorm has a off the day room bathroom with 6 showers open 4 toilets and urinals few sinks and they assign beds nightly. Green and blue dorms are more private in the back side of the shelter with mirroring bathrooms only smaller beds are assigned when accepted into the step up program. Cafeteria off the day room with a few vending machines with hot water dispenser ice machine and a regular sink. Laundry is only a dollar to wash and dry. The staff has a fluctuating professionalism, they all are not perfect and do what they can to facilitate a safe shelter. Keep in mind this is not a hotel but people will get away with what they can so do keep your belongings in sight because staff/shelter will not be responsible for them if lost or stolen. Some local people provide low paying side jobs but, take notice because some are just trying to use you to commit check fraud and cellphone scams. Staff here have good intentions and mean well. Cleanliness is dependent upon residents they have you sign a chore agreement. Deep clean on Wednesdays from 9am to 11am performed by residents and maintenance. Non working residents curfew is 9pm if not in before you have to wait until 8am , breakfast is at 7am lunch at 12pm and dinner at 6am. Red dorm beds are assigned at 9pm and all dorms are lights out at 11pm, All dorm lights on at 6am red closes and green and blue close at 8am all have lockers and various time they are given access to. They might exit people for nothing and steel there tools.

Lacking real professional help for the residents no compassion for the homeless man everyone is not a junkie or alcoholic

I’ve been staying at the Winter shelter and overall I will say that they are amazing and really want to help in any way they can! I just got hired onto a full time job. Today’s my 2nd day going to work. I am truly great full for all the help here.

It varies because each client's case is different, but similar. On an average I'm guessing 2 to 3 months minimum.

Ok me and my other half are homeless living in a truck we need some where for a meal and a hot shower or bath.

You have to remember, it is a shelter. If you are in the first phase, you have a small locker to keep your stuff in, so don't bring uneccessary items. Once you get to the working dorms you have more freedoms.
