Our Story

The story of Sweet Dreams Shelter begins in 2019 when a generous donation provided us with a building. We set to work, transforming it into a cold-weather shelter, a haven for those in need during the harshest months. Today, Sweet Dreams Shelter is a beacon of hope, a testament to our commitment to not just provide shelter but to pave the way for stable, long-term housing solutions.

Intensive Housing Case Management:

Our case management approach incorporates best practices and proven skills to offer effective, individualized support. Each client's journey is unique, and our case managers work closely with them to create personalized plans that address specific challenges and goals. This involves regular meetings, progress assessments, and a steadfast commitment to guiding clients towards stable housing.

Referrals to Partner Resources:

We provide a wide array of referrals to cater to diverse needs, including rehab, detox, sober housing, HUD vouchers, permanent supportive housing, independent living facilities, and nursing homes. These connections are crucial in offering a comprehensive support system that extends beyond immediate shelter needs.

Physical Shelter Provision:

At Sweet Dreams Shelter, we provide more than just a bed; we offer a safe haven away from the uncertainties of the streets. Our shelter is a secure and dignified space where individuals can rest, recover, and plan their next steps towards a stable future. With facilities and support designed to cater to our residents' well-being, Sweet Dreams Shelter stands as a cornerstone of our mission to aid those in need.

At Sweet Dreams Shelter, ensuring residents have access to nutritious meals throughout the day is a priority. Mornings begin with the comfort of warm coffee and various breakfast options. For the day ahead, lunch is conveniently available for residents to take with them. Evenings at the shelter are marked by wholesome dinners provided through the generosity of volunteers or by the Giving Spoon. This commitment to providing healthy, nourishing meals is an essential part of our support for residents.
