Falls Church Homeless Shelter is a community resource providing nightly respite from harsh weather to individuals without a place to stay; the shelter is operational from December 1 through March 31. The shelter can house 12 individuals at any one given time, with separate sleeping and showering facilities for women; each resident has access to a storage locker in addition to their bed, and can also reserve the bed for the following night. Residents who do not show up at the shelter on time forfeit their place to another homeless individual in need.
