The Detroit-Wayne County Rotating Shelter was also begun by and at Cass in 1988. Modeled after the one in South Oakland County (SOS), Cass arranges for area churches from a variety of denominations to "host" homeless people for a week at a time, October through May. Up to 80 people a day are accepted into the program. They shower and go through security at the Scott Building and, then, are transported to the sponsoring church for dinner and sleeping. The next morning, the homeless have breakfast with the host congregation and are then bussed back to Scott for school, employment and other activities.
If your religious group is interested in hosting homeless guests, be sure to sign-up through our schedule survey below. Before you sign up your group, please look through the two documents attached to this page, or at the bottom of the survey. The "guidelines" document details your group's responsibilities while you host. The "confirmation form" needs to be filled out and sent into us before we can actually guarantee your group a spot.
You can mail us the "confirmation form" at: CASS COMMUNITY SOCIAL SERVICES 11850 WOODROW WILSON DETROIT, MI 48206.
