The Adams family shelter can also be called if clients from the park want to come and need shelter. My staff have already been aware of the situation.

What the Coalition has collected about Pierce County shelters is at https://coalitionfiles.blob.core.windows.net/files/Shelter List.xlsx . The City and County monitor this listserv, so if they have better information, hopefully they will chime in (and then I can update our spreadsheet).

 

On any given night, all shelters are full with waitlists. The only current exceptions I know of are:

·         Bethlehem Baptist (families, couples, single women) – 20 beds available (this new shelter will probably fill up quite soon)

·         Tacoma Rescue Mission Men’s shelter – overflow cots available

 

Thanks,

I am also interested in how many shelter beds are available.  Is there a way to find out how many beds/slots are available at each shelter in the City of Tacoma, how many of those beds/slots are available on any given night (tonight or 1/6/20, for example), and the restrictions on those beds (gender, age, drug use, etc.)?
