From the street, most shelters are unrecognizable. A shelter can be anywhere and blend in. Although this is not a picture of Morningside, it could be.
What does a shelter look like?
Do the women sleep in a big room on cots?
Morningside was specifically designed and built to support women and children and reflects the needs of women and children. It is quite the opposite of what first comes to mind when the words “homeless shelter” are used. Women and children are assigned to a private bedroom that has enough real beds to accommodate the family. Morningside has a combination of private and common baths and has common cooking, eating, and recreation areas. Morningside has a large indoor playroom for children and even has a beautiful outdoor playground complete with swings and slides. |
