Description
| Description (Service) | The Lighthouse operates an overnight, year-round Emergency Shelter Program serving 50 adults and 8 youth. Anyone seeking emergency shelter can drop in or call the intake line. If seeking Emergency Shelter, the call or visit must be from the person seeking emergency shelter. The Lighthouse uses a diversion and triage model to register the most vulnerable individuals first. Staff works with Participants to develop housing goals and plans.
