Emergency Shelters are where you go when you need shelter …RIGHT NOW. At the moment, we have a very short list. And if you get there after 5pm, you might be out of luck. There’s such a demand that single-overnight shelter spots are based on a lottery or a first-come first-served basis. Be sure to tap on the Agency links below to see exactly how to gain entry, the limitations and the level of competition to get in. For your sake please try to look at this before you go there.
