PATH Shelter

PATH Shelter The Park Avenue Temporary Home (PATH) is an emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness.

We provide a safe place for people to come sleep, prepare meals, and do their laundry. We are a 26 bed facility, serve both men and women who are in need of temporary housing. We allow for a maximum stay of 30 days to help people get back on their feet. We accept donations of food items that the clients are able to make meals from.
