DESC Survival Services
Homelessness / Posted Jun 26, 2019 | 4:26 PM
In addition to providing safe, secure shelter, hot meals, and day-time safe haven from the streets, these services are a focal point for DESC’s outreach efforts and vulnerability assessments, and help people access a wide range of programs (both at DESC and elsewhere) to help them stabilize their lives and get permanent housing. Each night, DESC provides:
- shelter for 220 people in our Main Shelter at 517 Third Avenue.
- space for 38 more people in an auxiliary shelter at 505 Third Avenue.
- shelter for 100 men in our Queen Anne Shelter (QAS) at 157 Roy Street.
- shelter for 25 women in one of DESC’s supportive housing projects, Kerner-Scott House at 510 Minor Avenue North.
- shelter for 85 people at our Navigation Center at 606 12th Avenue South.
- shelter for 40 people at the West Wing Shelter on the corner of 5th and Jefferson Streets
