Stanton Center Winter Relief Program

SNAPSHOT 2020-2021 season

We are happy to report that there were no COVID19 outbreaks during this season and we successfully opened for 86 nights (82 attended) and 7 days during this season for a total of 406 bed nights and 41 bed days for our shelterees!

We served 71 individuals, who stayed on average 7 days with us; comprised of 59 males and 12 females.

Over 20 of our guests were sheltered in transitional housing during the winter months and/or housed with the help of our community partners.

We are looking forward to another successful year as we seek additional funding to provide more resources for our patrons and staff.
