Emergency Shelters

IPH shelters provide welcoming, safe accommodations for people experiencing homelessness while striving to minimize barriers that often prevent people from accessing shelter. IPH shelters offer housing-focused case management and compassionate 24 hour supports that prioritize client choice, empathy, and optimism. IPH recognizes that shelter is not a destination, but a process to help individuals resolve their housing crises.
