Application process
Call each day to be screened for shelter openings that night. Intake specialist will complete a short screening to determine literal homelessness and vulnerability. As family shelters have spaces available, they will contact that day's callers to offer them a space. Families without a reliable callback phone may provide the contact information of a third party. If all lines are busy, leave a voicemail or call back later to reach an intake specialist.
