Everyone Needs a Place to Sleep

Article Index

Everyone Needs a Place to Sleep

Everyone deserves a safe place to sleep, but it's difficult to get a good night's rest when you are worried about theft, assault and the elements. This especially holds true when it comes to the cold. Most parts of the country find nighttime temperatures 20 degrees lower than they are during the day, but some areas of the country see a decrease of 50 degrees.1 The homeless subpopulation is particularly at risk because of how exposed they are at night. Because of this, deaths caused by hypothermia were thirteen times higher than they were for those with proper shelter at night.2

While the trend is slowly improving, over half a million Americans are homeless. Homelessness was first viewed as a national issue in the United States in the 1870s.3 Since then, many non-profit and government programs have been created to help give more people access to a safe place to sleep. The Department of Housing and Urban Development is estimating that the number of shelters throughout the country is going to continue to grow.

Homeless Shelter Directory

Updated: March 20, 2020

Most shelters in the United States expect residents to leave the shelter in the morning. They can then return in the evening for a meal and to sleep. When looking at shelters, pay careful attention to curfew hours. There are also daytime-only shelters in many cities for people that may not be able to stay at their shelter.

In addition to the shelters below, there are many programs in place that could help. Be sure to go to your local library to find resources, guides and other programs that they may offer to assist you. Many libraries offer temporary library cards. There are also many government assistance programs offered. Some of the primary programs include Social Security Supplemental Income and Social Security Disability Insurance.

This is a very large list that we maintain. If you see a shelter that is missing or if you have feedback about our resources, please contact us through our contact form.
