It's okay because the food is usually ok. And they used to make it easy to get identification, but now its harder. And also for Ann Arbor the shelter is small and there is a waiting list to get in there.... Yes a waiting list for a emergency shelter. This is only addressing a small fraction of the homeless population. Ann Arbors solution is to give you a tent. Far beyond the standard that you would think that would be in Ann Arbor
The shelter provides a safe, clean place to stay when life leaves you homeless. They also have health services and are a great resource center. There are free meals for anyone at Noon and 5 pm on weekdays and 3 pm on weekends.
Thank you for all the help that you give to those in need God bless all of you you're in my prayers
LOL, to all the fake people who act as if they care. We never got into any shelters in the Washtenaw county area. They were supposedly all full. I didn't even get a call back from this one. Cold is spending thirty plus nights in a car. Thank God I had one. All of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti should feel ashamed. All the donations I'm sure that are given to help homelessness obviously isn't being spent for that purpose. I guess it's better spent on employing people. Praying one day God will position me to do more than these so called agencies did for me.
Cant wait til my foundation is putting this place out of business for good!!

The staff actually cares. All the social workers actually do work. The food is tasty and nutritious. The beds are comfortable. They help with bus tokens. There's a Narcotics Anonymous mtg here on Sundays. Many of the staff are in recovery and can connect you with others in the recovering community. The AAATA bus comes right to the front door. This was the last house in the block, so to speak, for me and it's helped me get my life back!!
Volunteered in community kitchen with Food Gatherers. Awesome experience and other volunteers were friendly and enthusiastic! Scott (Manager) is the best!
Homeless can happen to anyone...their services for someone who's going through something is second to none.
I never thought I'd have to use a shelter, but this place is awesome!!!
The staff. Travis Olivia, Mary Ann and Amy are absolutely fantastic
