BEDS Emergency Shelter program has transitioned from a rotating overnight shelter at local churches to a motel-based model that aims to place clients into housing as quickly as possible. A motel-based model has allowed BEDS to safely shelter those experiencing homelessness amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our goal is to move each client out of shelter within 90 days through placement in one of our housing programs or other positive exit, such as moving in with family. We hope our rotating shelter system with a network of churches and volunteers can one day return.
