Our Shelter
We are the only family shelter in the county.
The Family Shelter has been the heart of Emergency Shelter Services (ESS) for 40 years. It provides temporary housing, where individuals experiencing homelessness can stay while receiving supportive services. Our goal is to help them develop necessary life skills, and find them permanent housing.
