Do to this reason, individual client needs are assessed. If found qualified, the person may be moved into immediate shelter which may last between one to five nights at a local boarding facility or motor inn. In some cases, there may be vouchers used to pay for a local motel room in Midland County (especially for oil field workers), but this is not common.
Guests of the homeless shelter will be able to work with a case manager to find a low cost or even section 8 free housing. This process will address the cause of why they are homeless. The process will also help them help find a job, locate a permanent, home, improve their credit, or deal with whatever the issue is. If possible, clients of St. Ann's Catholic Church Society of Saint Vincent de Paul may be referred to the transitional shelter program in Midland County or western Texas.
