Night Stay Program
Overnight Winter Shelter for Men, Women, & Families
Every night individuals and families experience homelessness in Suffolk. Every night these people–our neighbors–deal with hunger, insecurity, discomfort and fear. Every night there is an opportunity to show love to our neighbors.

Get Shelter
If you are experiencing homelessness and need shelter call the Regional Housing Crisis Hotline at 757-587-4202. The hotline is how a guest obtains a referral for night stay. A referral within 24 hours of the first night stay is required. CAPS hosts the night stay shelter in member churches rotating weekly for people experiencing homelessness. Churches take turns hosting the program for a week at a time, opening their doors to provide shelter, food, safety and a listening ear to our neighbors.
