If you are homeless and in need of shelter...
We are a winter shelter, only open from November through March.
If it is November through March, you need to come to our intake center to get shelter. Our address is 602 Veterans Drive in Florence. We open each day at 4pm. Click on how our shelter program works for details about staying at Room in the Inn.
