Shelter Services

Providing shelter, meals, and security for individuals and families.

What Our Shelters Provide

Our shelters provide an immediate and accessible refuge for people experiencing homelessness in Central Oregon. By removing common barriers such as sobriety requirements, identification, or background checks, we create a secure and supportive environment where everyone is welcome. Through our interconnected initiatives, we offer a safe place to rest, regardless of individual circumstances, allowing guests to begin their journey toward stability.
