SHELTERING THE HOMELESS
over night shelter
More than half of Binghamton renters are housing cost burdened, a disproportionate share of which are racial and ethnic minorities, and waitlists for subsidized housing programs are lengthy or closed. Divine Mission overnight shelter will provide emergency beds for homeless men, women, and families with children every night, year round. While the reasons for their becoming homeless vary, many are working individuals unable to afford housing in this area. Our goal is to provide the intensive support needed to shorten the length of their crisis and expedite their return to housing.
After check-in, overnight guests are provided with a dinner meal, on-site educational opportunities, case management, and discipleship, including setting and working toward a plan to become housed again. Volunteers— including families, congregations, and individuals—assist with check-in and shelter monitoring, as well as preparation and service of the dinner meal.
