Men's Emergency
Shelter
Our Emergency Shelter is a program open
365 days a year providing a safe and clean environment for homeless.
Our staff interviews each individual to define their need and
a plan of action to meet that need.
Clients can participate in one or more of the following programs
under the Men's
Emergency Shelter Program:
Homeless Overnight Clients
Homeless men who come to the Dave Coy Center for any number
of reasons are extended Three days free every 90 days. They are properly registered
in our facility, and are given Three nights lodging, meals and
a clean place to stay.
Extended Overnight
After the three (3) days, in order to extend the client's stay they must see a Case Manager who will interview the homeless
man to ascertain their needs. They can stay as long as they maintain the house
rules, discipline and seek to help themselves. A $ 10 nightly
program service fee is required for this program.
Medical Clients
Clients are usually referred to Dave Coy Center by another agency
or one of the medical facilities of SAPD. Here the individual
is given counseling and if necessary we disperse the medication
for them. They are permitted to stay here until recovery and the
client is able to move into another part of the program such as
the workers program or referred to another agency.
Workers Program
This program is a 60 bed transitional program, providing counseling,
job and housing placement. After an interview with a Case Manager
and verification of permanent employment,
clients in the workers program may remain at the Dave Coy Center
until they are able to move into independent living. The key component
to this program is that the client must have and keep a verifiable
job. the individual is given a bed and a locker to keep his personal
belongings so he could lock and keep the key until the client
is able to move out on his own and able to support himself in
the community.
In the worker's program, there are additional
recovery steps that will continue to be monitored such as nightly
programming. Required programs such as Life skills classes and
a 12 step program known as a "Moses group" are mandatory
