Our emergency shelter has been a core program since 1978. The typical stay for people living in shelter is a month, sometimes much less, sometimes more. The shelter is a safe place that provides support and information about where to go next. We also have a small animal shelter at the facility so you can bring your animals.
The shelter is at a confidential location. If you need shelter, please call our crisis line or stop by our public office (1202 SE Douglas, Roseburg) to talk about housing options.
