day shelter
Temporary daytime refuge
A day shelter is a facility providing daytime services for homeless or displaced people—a place to rest, use restrooms, get meals, or access social services during hours when overnight shelters are closed.
Unlike emergency shelters that provide beds, day shelters focus on daytime refuge: The day shelter opens at seven and closes when the overnight shelter begins accepting guests.
