Maxine Lewis Memorial Shelter

Located in San Luis Obispo, the Shelter provides 49 beds nightly year-round. An additional 15 to 25 beds are added through the Interfaith Coalition for the Homeless "overflow" shelter program operated in one host church each month. More than 25,000 shelter nights are provided each year. The Shelter offers meals; showers; mail, phone and message services; information and referrals; specialized health screenings, and access to case management. The Shelter operates exclusively during the evening hours, with clients vacating the premises by 7:30 a.m.

Volunteerism is an important part of Shelter services. Volunteers serve food, organize special events, help with fundraising and, most importantly, interact with clients.

Each night, the line at CAPSLO's Homeless Shelter may include adults of all ages and ethnicities, teens, and families with children. CAPSLO uses all available resources to give compassionate aid to all who require assistance.
