The 
shelter serves men and women aged 18 to 25 (we check IDs). The shelter is open every night from late November to mid-May. Admission is first come, first served, and we don't take reservations. If you want to sleep at the shelter, you should be at the door between 7:30 and 8:00 pm. The doors open at 8:00 pm and you'll be asked to sign in. If it's your first visit you'll be given an intake interview which will take about 15 minutes. In the morning, everyone needs to be out of the shelter by 8:00 am.
The shelter capacity is 25-30 beds, and late arrivals may be turned away. Well-behaved pets are welcome.
