The Community Based Shelter Program:
This program provides emergency overflow shelter for homeless families - primarily single mothers and their children. Homelessness among families in our community has increased dramatically over the past years. This critical program allows families to find shelter even when all traditional shelters are full.
The Way:
This is a resource center for our homeless families participating in The Community Based Shelter Program. This facility allows families a place to research programs and services available to them throughout the community.

Annual "Portrait of Homelessness" Art Exhibit:
Every year, during the first week of November, the Coalition hosts this event. The exhibit is made up of multi-media art by homeless men, women and children throughout our community. The process of creating the art provides a rare opportunity to express their feeling's about their situation. This display of incredible work also functions as a powerful tool for public education.
Alternatives to Incarceration Council (ATIC):
The Alternatives to Incarceration Council is an executive body that believes in an efficient criminal justice system, supports redefining crime and criminalization and promotes the administration of justice that places more emphasis on state prisons and jails being used for violent offenses.
The Coalition feels strongly that discrimination against ex-offenders contributes to homelessness and poverty. Read our criminal justice reform petition.
