Staff Offices
Safehouse offices are used for a variety of activities and client services. The staff completes client intakes and paperwork here, as well as conducting one-on-one counseling. The financial educator meets with clients in these offices, as does the public health nurse, allowing for client privacy.
The staff also use the offices for meetings and does their work from the two rooms, one of which includes a bed for the staff or volunteer covering the overnight shift. They answer the 24-hour hotline, screening clients for the shelter or referring them to other agencies. Safehouse staff also assist with employment and housing advocacy, and see to the day-to-day maintenance of the shelter.
