Monday-Friday
-We have the day shelter available for anyone who spent the prior night with us in a bed.
-For those who didn’t they can come in at 4pm, sign up for a bed and receive dinner.
-Drop-in where individuals can come in any time after curfew (7pm) and spend the night in cafeteria without a bed. However drop-in guests are asked to leave at 6am. They are pointed towards the nest for day shelter and encouraged to get a bed.
Saturday-Sunday
-Day shelters for everyone starting at 9am. Other than that, it’s the same operations on the weekend.
-CRM won’t be making changes for Code Red. So, if someone who has not stayed with us tries to come in Monday-Friday on a hot day they would still be redirected to the Nest.
