Chara House
On most nights, Chara House opens the doors of the homeless shelter to about 8 men and 4 women, who for a number of reasons--mental health issues, drug and alcohol addiction or poverty, among others-- are homeless and need a place to stay.
And on extremely cold nights, the numbers can grow to 12 or more men, piled on bunk beds and on mattresses strewn across the floor of the basement shelter.
The shelter tries not to turn anyone away without any hope or any possibility of gaining accommodation elsewhere when the shelter fills to capacity.
