In New Haven, intensive case management support is provided to 17 men in recovery at Recovery House, while at the main shelter, 81 beds provide emergency shelter to single adults. During winter months, a seasonal shelter is provided to 75 men. In addition, in collaboration with congregations in the faith community, shelter is provided for 12 people in social halls of these congregations for 5 months during the winter season. Columbus House also provides seasonal warming centers in Hamden and Middletown, providing emergency shelter for up to 65 people during the coldest winter months. Also in New Haven, Columbus House operates a medical respite program in partnership with Yale New Haven Hospital('YNHH'). Patients are referred to this 12 bed program for recuperative medical care following in-patient hospitalization. Clients stay for up to 30 days.
