Over 90 guests are currently in hotel housing with many others in temporary housing situations. 

This is frequent at all PADS locations this season. Therefore, PADS is taking a "PAUSE" until late November/early December.

The season normally begins the first week of October through April.

Due to current circumstances, all on-site volunteers must be vaccinated and PADS is taking a PAUSE. We will resume being a Saturday night shelter site in late November/Early December.
