Northrup Shelter Update: Early Operations & Community Impact

Attendance, Outreach, and Neighborhood Maintenance

Shelter Attendance & Capacity

In the first days of operation, Northrup Shelter saw an average of 10–15 guests per night. Recently, that number has grown to around 30 guests, and with favorable weather and strong engagement, we expect attendance to remain steady. The City is considering lifting the current cap of 40 guests as staffing levels increase to meet staff-to-guest ratios.
