The length of stay permitted at a homeless shelter depends on the facility’s specific policies and the individual’s circumstances. Some shelters may have a fixed duration, such as a few days or weeks, while others may allow for more extended stays based on an individual’s progress in programs or services offered. It is essential to inquire about a shelter’s length of stay policy before planning your visit. Be prepared to participate in programs and services that can help you transition out of homelessness and into stable housing.
