A seasonal winter weather shelter is now open on Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Tacoma.
This shelter will provide important resources and support for individuals experiencing homelessness. Resources will include mental health counseling, substance use disorder services, and connections to employment while overnight shelter will also be offered. Guests who use the shelter will be given two meals a day.
Other shelters that are at capacity can provide referrals to he city’s shelter. Referrals will also be accepted from members of the Homeless Engagement and Alternatives Liaison team of the city as well as other outreach teams that are run throughout Tacoma.
Local Print shops can be hired to create Posters that can be displayed in key locations in the city so that those who need resources and shelter will know where they go for the night.
Tacoma is also partnering with other providers of shelter when overnight temperatures are expected to be 32 degrees or lower regardless of other outdoor conditions or reach 35 degrees accompanied by rain and wind. There will be an additional 20 beds for adults 18 years of age and older at the Nativity House of Catholic Community Services; 20 beds for those between 18 and 24 years old are the Beacon Young Adult Shelter; and up to 20 vouchers for various hotels throughout the city which will be provided by the Saint Vincent de Paul Community Resource Center.
