LIHEAP (Low Income Energy Assistance Program): Provides financial assistance to help low-income households with their energy bills.

We provide micro-shelters and currently operate a warming shelter during extreme weather conditions from November through April. COMING SOON: We will offer a night-by-night shelter open 365 days a year.
