Who qualifies to stay in the shelter?
In order to stay as a guest in the shelter, individuals must register and complete intake paperwork with JOURNEYS. As part of the intake process, case managers do background checks on each client, assess their needs, and identify which programs they qualify for. Qualified clients are issued a PADS photo identification card to gain access to an available site on the nights they are awarded a slot. Churches receive a list of qualified clients so they know who to expect at the shelter on their assigned night.
