Day Shelter

After research and design by LHOT, a Day Shelter was opened in partnership with Longmont’s OUR Center.

Since opening on June 6, 2005, the Day Shelter has served 1,079 unduplicated Longmont clients providing emergency food, showers, laundry, personal care items, clothing, prescriptions, glasses, tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, towels, identification and birth certificates, mail, and voice mail service.

Salud Clinic’s Mobile Unit screened 400 persons who are now receiving follow up treatment at Salud Clinic. Birth certificates and photo id’s are being obtained which enable these persons to apply for jobs and benefits where before they could not.

21% are now receiving benefits they are entitled to, 12% have secured permanent housing and 17% have obtained employment.
