The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center
West Side’s Community Offering for the month of November will go to The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Delonis Center. The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County (SAWC) at the Delonis Center provides temporary shelter and connection to services in a safe and caring environment. SAWC works with the community to provide the necessary resources to meet the needs of people who are experiencing homelessness. SAWC serves about 1,300 adults experiencing homelessness each year. They serve nearly all of the individual adults experiencing homelessness in Washtenaw County in some way. The SAWC is housed at the Robert J. Delonis Center in downtown Ann Arbor. The shelter operates 24/7, 365 days a year.
The SAWC has an onsite kitchen that serves meals 364 days a year, a free medical clinic and service center. It offers hope to those living on the street with a myriad of services designed to give people the dignity they deserve. Some of the services provided are showers, access to storage, laundry and an address to receive mail. SAWC programs address immediate and long-term client needs through case management, community referrals and on-site basic needs with the goal of sustainable housing.
The SAWC Residential Program offers beds to 50 individuals. The Shelter Diversion program can assist an additional 95 individuals at a time. In the cold months, the SAWC serves an additional 500 people in the Warming Center. Warming Center clients receive an array of support that helps them move into safe, permanent housing.
