I like to call it the Diamond Shelter, Ocean view, supportive, caring staff, friendly and happy. If your plan is to get somewhere, and have no starting point, resources are available. Referrals are made, donations like clothing, shoes, other resources are made available upon request, call before the time designated. Good luck, and work on moving forward.
