As a homeless service provider, our agency has worked with Interfaith Shelter Network since 2018 collaborating with their Rotational Shelter Program. This seasonal shelter offers a safe place to sleep for our vulnerable clients experiencing homelessness when the only alternative is sleeping outside in the cold and rain. Our clients have shared their content with the small congregate setting and the warm meals provided. They have also shared their gratitude for the hosting congregations and their volunteers who make their stay more welcoming. The ISN staff is always available for support and open to feedback, and have shown a genuine desire to see the clients connect to services during their stay in the shelter and to successfully exit homelessness.

The interfaith shelter network (ISN) which has strong ties with the Ecumenical Council is a GREAT service provider. At our non-profit, we provide case management for those less fortunate in San Diego that are seeking a place for rest and recuperation as they strive to get gainful employment. I have found it amazing that via the ISN that our clients can find exactly this environment, look refreshed the next morning and many have actually found jobs. Our clients tell us that if it wasn’t for ISN they would probably still be trying to find employment and receiving rejections due to their physical appearance. ISN is a great program and the staff that run the program as some of the best I’ve ever seen.
