The Men's Shelter
is open 365 days a year to those who need a clean
bed, a hot meal, and a shower.
Our
Goal is to restore and preserve the dignity of human
beings through the love of Jesus Christ
The men's shelter is probably one of the busiest places
of Crossroads
Mission. Its main purpose is to offer homeless
guests a clean, comfortable
bed that they may keep for up to ten days per month.
During those 10 days, the shelter staff and case
managers try to work with each one of the individuals to
see if there is any program or service that Crossroads
offers
that could improve their life.
Besides
a place to sleep, the shelter offers:
*
Access to a clean, climate controlled, break room every
day
starting at 2 p.m. Guests may watch TV or simply enjoy
reading a book indoors.
*
Showers everyday at 3 p.m. The mission provides soap,
shampoo, a clean
towel and a razor for all who need them.
* Free clothing is
issued by voucher as needed.
Requirements
Individuals 18 years and older, with
identification, are required to be sober and are given a
breathalyzer at time of bed sign in. All who are
under the influence are asked if they would like to
enter the recovery program. If they do not want
recovery, they are asked to leave the property and are
offered a warm blanket.
