What is an average night in our stability shelter?

Stability provides emergency-style overnight care for individuals who are in a crisis of homelessness or who are considering taking a step toward a transformed life. Each evening guests have opportunities to participate in Bible studies and other services as they choose. Guests check in between 7 and 7:30 p.m. each night and check out at 6:30 a.m.

Our strong desire is that Stability guests will find the temporary help they may need or at some point move in to Phase 1 of our LifeChange program.

Due to the nature of the Transition phase, nearly all residents work full time.
