3 SHELTERING THE HOMELESS By Julie Krienke, Communications Assistant

CHUM has been providing shelter on an emergency basis since 1982. Over the past 31 years, CHUM’s shelter programs have expanded to include a 4-unit emergency family shelter and 4 units of permanent supportive housing for families. CHUM social workers also work with tenants at First Lutheran Church’s transitional housing and Firehouse Flats.

CHUM’s emergency congregate shelter provides 46 beds for homeless men and women. Individuals are able to stay at this shelter for up to 30 days, and shower facilities, toiletries, and access to the CHUM Center are available to guests. CHUM’s case managers and housing advocates work with individuals to identify and address barriers to obtaining and maintaining permanent housing. The shelter is open 365 days a year, and in 2012, over 1,050 individuals were served in the congregate shelter.

In addition to its emergency congregate shelter, CHUM operates an emergency family shelter that was opened in 1994. The family shelter moved to its present location in 1998, providing four apartments at that location, with additional families staying in CHUM emphasizes creating positive relationships the congregate emergency shelter in a family area.

More specifically, he’s helped a lot of people to help themselves. He shows love, progress, Cully is there to help. His role can best be described as part parent – respect and compassion, while at the same time calling for accountability. for some of the people he works with, he is the first positive parental figure they’ve It’s an important balance designed to help individuals had – and part resource, offering guidance and discover something precious - their dignity. encouragement to navigate the barriers that keep someone from finding housing.
