Porchlight (Formerly known as Congregations for the Homeless)

The EMS, along with our Day Center, provides a safe, welcoming, resource-rich environment 24 hours a day every day of the year for men experiencing homelessness to rebuild their lives and obtain stable income and housing. Men in the enhanced shelter have access to safe sleeping accommodations, three nutritious meals a day, showers and laundry, storage, mail, haircuts, computers, etc. This low-barrier program serves 100 men experiencing homelessness on the Eastside each day, and between 700-900 men each year. In addition to limited case management services, PorchLight offers on-site housing navigation, employment navigation, medical and dental care, and professional mental health and addiction supportive services. Space is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority going to men who spent the previous night at the shelter. The EMS is the only shelter for men on the Eastside that accepts all men based only on behavioral requirements. The men’s shelter is staffed by professional, experienced employees and is managed by PorchLight.
