We have tarps, sleeping bags, and backpacks by availability. Due to the high need, we are only able to offer one of each per person.
Peer House is a place for people who are unsheltered to access our internet, community phone, restroom, mailbox, jackets and shoes (2 each per 6 months), clothing closet (20 items per month), hygiene closet (2 visits per month), bus passes (10 per month, by availability), coffee, water, and daily snack packs. We have a room available for community partners to meet with members and/or allow members to access their providers via telehealth.

Currently, we are unable to offer space for people to hangout. We do not pay for motels, gas, or laundry. We will update this regularly as items change.
