UCAN currently has a men’s shelter available for men age 18 and up. There are 29 beds in the facility, located at 7 W. 1st Street in Jamestown, and individuals are permitted a 30 day emergency stay. While at the facility, individuals are provided a bed, a shower, laundry services, recreational activities, and two hot meals a day during breakfast and dinner, respectively.
One of the biggest ways that UCAN helps is providing guidance to men who need help procuring important documentation, such as Social Security numbers, birth certificates, and photo IDs.
