Emergency Shelter

The RSOS is a 90-day shelter that provides basic essential activities of daily living such as meals, seperate sleeping areas for men and women, and bathrooms which include shower facilities for residential clients. Each day breakfast is served at 6:00am and dinner is served at 6:00pm. Clients are encouraged to have lunch across the street at the Friendship Center from 11:00am-1:00pm. Clients leave during the day at 7:00am and can return for check-in at 3:30pm. All new clients must have some form of identification when applying for residency. A complete list of Rules will be reviewed during admission.

Case Management

Upon intake and admission, all residential clients a enrolled in the Case Management Program. This program allows clients to have an initial meeting with the Residential Services Case Manager who will work with the client in identifying needs as well as assist in linking residents to mainstream community resources. When discharging from the program, clients will meet with the Housing Resource Case Manager who will assist the client in locating permenant housing and prevent re-entry into homelessness.

Identity Document Assistance

Residents who do not have the basic information such as a picture i.d., may qualify for identity documentation assistance. We believe that the first step towards becoming self-sufficient is through establishment of identity. Items such as birth certificates and state issued identification are necessary in order to obtain employment.

Medical Assistance

If needed, the RSOS assists residential clients with life-sustaining essential prescriptions. The RSOS believes that the high cost of prescription medications for those without insurance, indirectly contributes to the recidivism rate of homelessness. In order to allow residents to focus on saving funds for housing, the RSOS alleviates the burden of high prescription costs.
