\nRespite Centers welcome single adults and adult families. Please note that families with minor children will not be assigned to a respite shelter.
\n
\nThese centers are usually located in repurposed office buildings, churches, or schools. Residents are provided with a cot, blanket, meals, and access to a bathroom. It’s important to mention that respite centers offer fewer services than long-term shelters.
