Simpson Dinner

As a smaller capacity facility, Simpson’s extended-stay shelter offers unique opportunities for staff and guests to create trusting relationships. We are honored to walk alongside each person to navigate challenging barriers and find safe and stable housing. Through our person-centered work, we build meaningful relationships with each shelter guest and create a unique sense of community.

The shelter staff meet with guests to resolve housing barriers and connect guests to resources that support ongoing stability, including housing assistance, veterans’ services, and health-related services, along with access to three daily meals, showers, laundry, toiletries, mail, and a savings program. Advocates listen to and meet guests where they are, supporting guests in achieving their individualized goals of housing stability and improved well-being.

Volunteer groups serve healthy, filling meals for lunch and dinner. Shelter guests have the chance to visit with staff, volunteers, and other guests, or just unwind by playing board games or watching TV. While shelter guests do not currently have the home they deserve, Simpson staff try to create a sense of home, safety, and welcome.
