North A Stree​t​​
Description o​f Type of Shelter​
Traditionally, emergency shelter for adults experiencing homelessness has been provided in congregate shelters. These shelters vary in size and configuration, but generally consist of large or semi-private spaces with bunk beds or cots where multiple people sleep. Many congregate shelters were initially built for very temporary stays or as ​emergency​ respite from weather or other conditions outside. Because of their configuration, congregate shelters also have higher barriers to entry, as they often cannot shelter mixed-gender couples, may not be able to accommodate pets and do not typically have space for significant storage of personal belongings. Despite these challenges, congregate shelters are an important part of the homeless continuum, and the County has made investments in recent years to expand services at these sites and to reduce barriers, including provisions for pets, and mixed-gender populations.
