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. They also do job and housing advocacy, and see to the day to day maintenance of the shelter.
