Nazire_Note

Hospitality is one of the earliest missions of Friendship Place and it remains a core element. Referred to as "the little blue house" by many in the community, homeless men and women can drop into Friendship Place five days a week and know they are welcomed and will be treated with respect. It is a place for guests to escape from the streets and simply sit, read the paper and drink a cup of coffee as noted by the quote on the right.

Besides providing respite, consumers can also

  • see a case manager
  • use our address to receive mail
  • use a telephone
  • get connected to the homelessness voicemail system
  • visit with a doctor or psychiatrist
  • get help in applying for housing
 

FAQs

Are there any homeless children?
About one-quarter of all homeless people are 17 or younger. Most homeless children live with their families in shelters, but some are living on their own. For example, if they have “aged out” of foster care and have nowhere to live they may be on the streets or in a youth shelter.
