Homeless Shelter
Programs, usually sponsored by community organizations or coalitions, that provide temporary shelter for homeless people, generally in dormitory-style facilities with very little privacy. Most community shelters offer support services which may include counseling, advocacy, referrals and help with future plans; and enforce house rules including curfews and mandatory household chores. Participation in religious activities is either optional or not a part of the program. There may be differences in intake, length of stay and amenities in family oriented facilities and those that target other specific populations.
Programs that provide overnight accommodations during times of extreme heat or cold for people who are temporarily at risk for exposure due to a power failure, fuel shortage, road closure, homelessness or other situations which make them vulnerable.
Programs, usually with religious affiliations, that provide temporary shelter (generally in dormitory-style facilities with very little privacy) for homeless people in the community. Most missions have minimal support services and strictly enforced house rules including curfews, mandatory attendance at religious services, and required participation in daily housework or other assigned chores.
Programs that provide temporary shelter for homeless people in outdoor locations which are equipped with tents or canopies, cots, and sanitation and cooking facilities; and which may assist residents who need linkage with community social service agencies. Also included are programs that build huts for use by people who are homeless. The structures are not considered permanent housing but rather are shelters which offer privacy, security, protection from the elements and stability.
Shelters that provide temporary refuge for homeless people who are intoxicated. Some wet shelters allow homeless individuals to continue to consume alcohol on the premises, but others (sometimes referred to as "damp shelters") accept people who are intoxicated but prohibit consumption in the shelter.
