Who does Pine Street Inn serve?
Pine Street Inn serves men and women of many different races, nationalities and religions. They range in age from 18 to 80+. Pine Street guests and tenants have a wide variety of backgrounds and speak numerous languages. Some have had little formal schooling, while others have advanced degrees. Many are unemployed, but a number have full- or part-time jobs. Some struggle with mental illness, disability, addiction, or isolation; and none has found affordable housing. With help, some guests are able to move beyond shelter fairly rapidly. But for many others, it takes time to regain stability and the confidence to face the world. Our services include outreach, health care, addiction counseling and recovery groups, and job training. We also give referrals to other service providers. Staff provides all guests and tenants with encouragement and the tools needed to reconnect with work, housing and community.
