Eastside winter conditions endanger the lives of people in our community. Space is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority going to men who spent the previous night there. The EWS is the only low-barrier shelter for men on the Eastside. The mens shelter is staffed by professional, experienced employees and volunteers managed by CFH.

The Eastside WEWS Shelter (EWS) is an emergency overnight shelter providing men safety from the cold elements. Men who visit are provided with a hot meal and a safe place to sleep. The trained staff also help connect the homeless to necessary resources, which will help them move toward security, stability, and independence.Photo.2
The EWS accommodates up to 80 people each night and is the only low-barrier shelter for men on the Eastside.
