About the Homeless Families Warming Center
Family homelessness is a genuine concern in our community. On January 28, 2009, there were over 2,300 people in homeless families receiving help to overcome homelessness. However, an additional 388 people in homeless families sought shelter or other help but were turned away. These families are homeless, living in cars, tents, or other places not meant for human habitation. They have nowhere safe to spend the night. In response to this critical health and safety issue, Human Solutions has opened the Homeless Families Warming Center.
What is offered at the Warming Center?
The Homeless Family Warming Center will give homeless families a secure place to be each evening where parents can know that their children are safe and that they will be able to access housing, employment and other services designed to quickly end their homelessness.
How can I get to the Warming Center using public transport?
Information coming soon!
