Description of the Proposed Project [24 CFR 50.12 & 58.32; 40 CFR 1508.25]:
The Interfaith Winter Shelter (IFS) is a 20-bed emergency shelter sponsored by ServiceNet, Friends of the Hampshire County Homeless, and the city of Northampton. The guests we serve
at IFS usually would have a 30-day limit, but can stay beyond the recommended limit.. ServiceNet's Interfaith Shelter, as stated in the amended 2020-2024 Northampton Consolidated
Plan for the period July 2022 to June 2023, ''will continue to administer its sheltering programs in all three counties and ... be a vital partner in the Coordinated Entry process
for housing our homeless neighbors.'' We collaborate to provide food, staffing, and emergency, overnight shelter for adult homeless individuals during the coldest months of the year,
November 1st to April 30th. At IFS, homeless guests receive two meals a day and warm, safe place to sleep. They can also avail themselves of shower and laundry facilities. There are
opportunities for health care, mental health counseling, and case management. With the support of case managers, participants can research available benefits, get connected to vital
services, and search for housing and employment. Most stays in emergency shelters are brief, but guests working toward goals can stay longer for support in meeting those goals.
