Uniquely in the metro area, we provide a full continuum of supportive housing services to end chronic homelessness:

* Emergency shelters for men and women (separated by gender).
* Permanent, subsidized, supportive rental housing for single men and women who have been homeless long-term, with a unique focus on the needs of single women.
* Subsidized, supportive rental housing for families with children, both single site and scattered site, both transitional and permanent housing.

Events:

Shelter Hot Breakfast Provider:

Simpson Shelter invites you to breakfast! Help an adult experiencing homelessness start his/her day off with a warm, healthy breakfast! Organize a group of friends, coworkers, neighbors, or your family to cook breakfast at the shelter. Your group would purchase, prepare, and serve a hot breakfast for 66 people at 6 am. A maximum 12 volunteers are allowed (at least 2 volunteers must be over 18 years of age).

Youth Group Overnight and Breakfast Provider

This is an opportunity for youth groups to stay overnight above a shelter and to provide breakfast for shelter guests the following morning. Youth groups arrive between 8 pm and 9 pm. Shelter staff will give your group a tour and answer questions. The group plans a hot menu for breakfast, purchases the food items, cooks, and serves 66 shelter guests. Breakfast is served from 6 am until 6:30 am. The group must be ready to leave the shelter by 7 am. A maximum 12 volunteers are allowed (at least 2 volunteers must be over 18 years of age).
