The emergency homeless shelter at the New London Homeless Hospitality Center operates around the clock to provide a safe and welcoming environment for adults experiencing homelessness. At the core of its mission is a 40-bed facility where guests receive not only shelter but also compassion, respect, and stability during times of crisis. Staff and volunteers ensure that each person has access to basic needs such as meals, clean bedding, and showers, while also fostering an atmosphere of dignity and community. Beyond immediate care, the shelter connects guests with supportive services—housing counseling, healthcare, employment assistance, and recovery resources—helping them move from crisis to long-term independence. The operations emphasize safety, structure, and individualized support, ensuring that no one faces homelessness alone.
Minimally, 40% of emergency shelter operations costs are not covered by government grants.
