If you or someone you know needs emergency shelter, please call 405.724.8439 to reserve a bed. Our shelter is located at 532 N. Villa Ave. Families with children are welcome to check in at 4:30 p.m. each day, and our individual guests can check in at 6:00 p.m. Companion pets are also welcome and will be checked into our pet hotel for your overnight stay. Guests are asked to check out by 7:00 a.m. each morning. Our shelter opens seven days a week, 365 days a year and offers guests secure storage for their belongings, showers, a mailing address, case management, housing navigation, and a safe and calm environment for a good night's rest. Beds fill up quickly, so reservations are highly encouraged.

Guests are welcome to stay for one night, or a hundred nights with no prerequisites or requirements, but all guests are asked to treat each other and us with kindness and respect.
We acknowledge emergency shelter is not the end goal, but a starting place. Our advocates are committed to learning names and stories, building trust, offering resources and support to our guests as they embark on the courageous work of building a better tomorrow for themselves and those they love.
Transformation starts here.
