MARQUETTE The Marquette area has made a significant step towards solving its homelessness issue.
Room at the Inn’s Warming Center has opened the area’s first permanent homeless shelter.
Along with helping people transition out of homelessness, the new shelter also serves as a useful tool for Room at the Inn.
“Now we have a real tool where we can measure our effectiveness of ending homelessness locally,” said Nick Emmendorfer, Executive Director of Room at the Inn. “Now we can measure how frequently people are homeless, how long they’re homeless, and how often we can get them out of the homeless shelter and into housing solutions, and what working solutions we have available in the community to make the shelter an effective piece of the crisis response system.”

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WBUP) An emergency homeless shelter for residents in Marquette County is desperately looking for supplies and volunteers.
Since 2007, Room at the Inn has provided food, shelter and assistance at its warming center in Downtown Marquette.
The non-profit organization helps our neighbors transition out of homelessness and the group is looking for volunteers to help the organization continue to succeed.
If you are unable to volunteer, Nick Emmendorfer encourages people to donate money or supplies to help provide services to the homeless population in the community.
The Executive Director of Room at the Inn went on to say that after establishing The Warming Center in Downtown Marquette, they are hoping to further provide guests with the ability to permanently transition out of homelessness.
