Emergency services cornerstone's emergency services program addresses the need for life saving crisis intervention and safe housing for those in imminent danger of interpersonal violence. Crisis advocates maintain a 24 hour/7 day a week phone line and ensure callers receive the resources they need, including transportation to our shelter. If pets are in need of boarding and safety, we utilize our pets for protection program. Cornerstone's 35-bed emergency shelter is a departure from the traditional communal-living model, instead designed with family living spaces, one of which is wheelchair accessible. This allows for privacy, respects cultural diversity and provides a home-like environment in a time of crisis. Having the shelter connected to cornerstone's comprehensive community-based programming allows families full access to our complete continuum of services for adults and children. In addition to regular meetings with their primary advocate, shelter residents work with youth counselors and a parenting specialist. When the shelter is full or when shelter is not an appropriate option, cornerstone partners with local hotels and motels in order to provide immediate safe housing to victims. In 2021, we provided 86 adults (women, men and transgender individuals) and 79 children with 4,527 nights of safe housing and 17,550 meals.
