Help for tonight, and a way back

A safe bed matters tonight. The rest of our work is about what comes after: case managers, outreach visits, health support, and the long climb back to a place of your own.

The shelter is a community

A Place For You provides a safe and supportive environment for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We cover basic needs first. After that comes guidance, connections, and real opportunities, always with respect for the dignity and potential of each person.

Our work follows the Sanctuary Model. Its four commitments are safety, emotional intelligence, shared responsibility, and recovery. Around here we like to say that hope is contagious.

The 12th Annual Giving Gala

What a night. Thank you to everyone who filled Grand Casino Hinckley on September 25 for dinner, auctions, a wine grab, and a room full of people who care what happens to their neighbors. We’re already looking forward to welcoming everyone back next year.
