ACCESS Provides emergency shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness. We embrace the Housing First philosophy, a best practice approach to addressing homelessness based on the idea that all people should have access to safe shelter as a basic human dignity. ACCESS participates in a coordinated entry process through 2-1-1 to connect women ages 18 and older experiencing homelessness with our shelter. When women and their children enter emergency shelter, they are offered a safe, clean, and secure space for their stay; three nutritious meals and snacks daily; laundry services; phone and computer access; transportation; and individualized support services.
