While pets and service animals are not permitted, our focus is on providing a trauma-informed, person-centered environment where each guest is treated with dignity and compassion.

Although Grace Shelter does not provide in-house mental health or addiction services, we offer referrals to trusted community providers. We also collaborate with local non-profits and government partners to bring essential resources directly to our guests, including:

• Budgeting workshops

• Support in accessing government benefits

At Grace Shelter, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to move toward a more stable, self-sufficient future—guided by compassion, dignity, and the belief in each person’s potential.

What is an Emergency Homeless Shelter?

An emergency shelter is a temporary housing facility for individuals who are unable to reside in their previous residence. A minor difference is that people staying in emergency shelters are more likely to keep up all day, except for work, school, or errands, while homeless shelters usually expect people to stay elsewhere during the day, returning only to sleep or eat.

Grace Shelter has 19 beds available: 13 male and 6 female. Beds are available 24/7 for a first come, first serve basis.

An adult at least 18 years of age experiencing: literal homelessness, at imminent risk of homelessness or fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence.
