Saint Vincent De Paul - (Day Center/Night Shelter)

Society of St. Vincent De Paul - (Day/Night Shelter)

Society of St. Vincent De Paul - (Day/Night Shelter) is a new multi-purpose facility for the homeless. The facility is a day center and homeless night shelter for men. The shelter’s day center works diligently at preventing repeat cases of homelessness by offering living skills and educational courses through funding by the Emergency Shelter Grants Program. These courses are a way to motivate individuals to become independent and productive members of the community. Services of the day facility include, but are not limited to, a full needs assessment by counseling staff, counseling services, a referral service, a living skills program, job counseling and assistance, shower facilities, laundry facilities, clothing, transportation, medical prescriptions, personal hygiene items, and other needed services. The referral service acts as a homeless clearing house of information for public and private agencies assisting the homeless. The day shelter program operates from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. The night shelter component plays the essential role in helping homeless men off the streets. Services offered at the night shelter include, but are not limited to, a needs assessment counseling (job and case work), living skills program, clothing, personal hygiene items, medical prescriptions, transportation, referral services, meals, shower and laundry facilities, all of which receive funding assistance by the Emergency Shelter Grants Program.
