The Stockbridge Munsee Community recognizes that community members who experience homelessness have a need for emergency shelter. The emergency shelter program is designed as a short-term solution to a long-term problem. The program will provide immediate relief while a long-term plan of action is developed on behalf of the individual or family in need. The Family services has two three-bedroom homeless shelters located on the Reservation. The homeless shelter will service tribal members and other members of the community if it is their intent to move back to the community
