MONTGOMERY, Ala. - There are more than 3,000 people who are considered homeless in Alabama. That’s according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Here in Montgomery, there is currently only one on-site emergency shelter for men, women, and children who don’t have a place to call home.offers a warm spot for the homeless. But, with limited space, they are only able to help so many.
“At the moment, we are at capacity. We have no other place to put people,” said Davis. “Every day, we have to tell people try to make it another day. And call us when you can if you have a working phone or if someone will let you use their phone or if you can get to our doors, we will do our best to continue to track you and figure out if you still need shelter.”
Friendship Mission was never meant to be a large-scale shelter or a long-term solution. In addition to providing shelter, it also works to help people get back on their feet by offering life skills and financial literacy classes. But a lack of affordable housing in the area makes it harder for them to move on from the shelter.
“We need financial donations, so that we can not just hang on, but expand and actually make our way through this crisis,” said Davis.
