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.)?
