The First Place Annex Night Shelter now has 22 new fully-walled and private rooms in its dormitory, as well as six new pallet shelters outside. Every guest gets a furnished room with a queen-sized bed or a twin bed for a child. The rooms are only available from 5 at night until the next morning. After that, guests have to leave and work toward getting back on their feet.
