More about this organization
Mission
COTS provides emergency shelter, services, and housing for people who are without homes or who are marginally housed. COTS advocates for long-term solutions to end homelessness. We believe: in the value and dignity of very human life; that housing is a fundamental human right; that emergency shelter is not the solution to homelessness.
About
In the 2019 fiscal year, 52 families, including 97 children, stayed in cots' emergency shelters. Emergency shelter for families: the firehouse family shelter (opened in 1988) and main street family shelter (opened in 2002) provide safe and decent shelter for 15 families with children. Families can stay for up to six months while they work with cots staff to find affordable housing, employment, child care and health care services. The cots children's education advocate works with children and parents in shelter to ensure success in school, promote children's healthy social, emotional and physical development, and strengthen family relationships.
