First Baptist Shelters 100 Homeless Men
First Baptist Church, a CARITAS partner congregation, sheltered an unprecedented number of homeless men during the week of Thanksgiving this year.
Forms/Actions
We are a "low-barrier" shelter, meaning that we do not have many initial requirements for an individual to receive services. In fact, the only requirement we have is appropriate behavior. We serve as many clients as capacity allows, giving priority to the most vulnerable including families, the elderly, and the mentally and physically ill. We encourage all our guests to move toward self-sufficiency through on-site and off-site case management services, and through referrals to other agencies for additional services.
