INN BETWEEN

The Inn Between is an emergency program for homeless families. Founded in 1985, our original building, a lovely Victorian home, houses six families at a time, and includes one fully handicapped-accessible room. In this program we also maintain a "community room," available for homeless families who are ineligible for shelter assistance from the state.
