How to Get Help

Call 2-1-1 and ask for shelter. Columbus House fills beds through 2-1-1 and the Coordinated Access Network, not by people showing up. 2-1-1 answers any time, but its housing team books shelter during the day, so call then if you can. Expect an assessment or a waitlist, not always a bed the same day.
