Community shelters

Community shelters are designated safe spaces within a community that provide temporary housing and support services to individuals experiencing homelessness, disasters, or emergencies. They offer essentials like beds, food, and hygiene facilities, along with access to resources such as healthcare, counseling, and job assistance. These shelters aim to address immediate needs while connecting individuals to longer-term solutions, fostering stability and safety. Operating through local government, nonprofits, or community groups, they play a key role in enhancing community well-being and resilience during crises or periods of housing insecurity.
