The Shelter’s Purpose and Location
The 40-bed shelter is a temporary solution to address the growing homeless population in Tenfold. The shelter will provide a safe and warm space for individuals to spend the night, with access to basic necessities like food, water, and hygiene facilities.
The Lancaster County Homelessness Coalition is a non-profit organization that provides a range of services to support individuals experiencing homelessness.
The Code Blue Initiative
The Lancaster County Homelessness Coalition’s Code Blue initiative is a critical response to the harsh winter weather conditions that often affect the local homeless population. When temperatures drop below 20 degrees or the wind chill is below 0 degrees for two hours or longer, the coalition activates its Code Blue protocol.
