The Guest House

If you are male and homeless or without a place to sleep except maybe outside somewhere, show up here Monday, Wednesday, or Friday at 1:30 PM. You will be asked to give your name, social security number, and birth date. Then show up the next Monday, Wednesday, or Friday to be interviewed to be put on the waiting list. Provided that you are not a sex offender, you will be put on the waiting list. You will be let in within usually 3 — 5 days depending on whether any current resident leaves.
The Guest House does not have meals every day, and they rarely have breakfast, but there is a refrigerator filled with sandwiches if you are hungry. This is a slight drawback, but it is not the end of the world as there are a few other places where a person down on his or her luck can get a free meal.
There doesn’t seem to be a required bedtime. The lights in the dorms go out around PM, but you can stay in the basement or the main lobby room indefinitely watching TV if you like. Everyone has to be awake and out of the building by 7:30 AM.
There is a chores board that they write different names on each week for people that are responsible for different daily chores that week.
Each resident is assigned a case manager who will help each resident gain employment and a place to live.
It is a good place, and I found all of the staff and volunteers to be good people that treat the residents like people as opposed to treating them like less than people which staff at another area homeless shelter does.
