The Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter of Davis is a community-based effort enabling member congregations to provide cold-weather shelter and hospitality on a rotating basis to persons who are homeless in the Davis community.

How the Program Works

History

The Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter (IRWS) started as the Interfaith Homeless Task Force in 2005 in an attempt to address the challenges facing Davis's homeless during the cold and wet winter months. Over the years representatives from many organizations (see below) have worked with IRWS.

The shelter had been the subject of complains by neighbors and the issue went all the way to the City Council. It was resolved at the January 12th 2010 meeting.
