Congregations for the Homeless (CFH) is a non-profit dedicated to helping Eastside men who are experiencing homelessness as they move towards independent living. Each month a CFH shelter rotates from one Eastside congregation to another. East Shore hosts the Rotating Shelter in October.
The Shelter provides a vibrant healthy community where men can rest, recover and rejuvenate. In addition to accessing case management supports, the men are able to obtain three meals a day, washers, dryers, showers, and haircuts. To be at the shelter, a man must
- Have a current state picture I.D.
- Allow CFH to run a criminal background check. (No one convicted of a sex offense crime is allowed.)
- Be willing to be drug- and alcohol-free, and willing to address any addiction issues.
- Be willing to work one-on-one with a Housing Navigator.
In this time of COVID, interaction with the men in the Shelter is in flux. Your CFH Ministry team will soon be looking for volunteers.
