What is life like in the Beau Venturi Home emergency shelter?
Safe…comforting…life-transforming…but not easy. Similar to life in a college dorm, the emergency shelter features 13 individual bedrooms that can sleep up to 60 individuals (including cribs), four shared kitchens, two common living areas, a meditation room, teen room and children’s library. Curfews are maintained and no guests are permitted on the grounds to ensure the safety of residents, volunteers and staff. Program participants are free to come and go within the curfews – security at our state-of-the-art facility is designed to protect, not confine. Indoor and outdoor play areas allow children to relax and enjoy normal childhood activities. Enrichment programs help both children and adults learn life skills and provide opportunities to grow and socialize. Bedrooms offer private baths, closets (no doors as a reminder this is not a permanent solution but a step on the path to peace) and trundle beds. Each bedroom doorway is painted a different color for individuality. Individua
