In addition to serving the single male and female population, it is the goal of Charlotte County Homeless Coalition to keep families intact.
This includes married couples, married couples with children, or single parents with minor children. Provision for four family units that are separate from the general population was made within the design of the building. Additional interior family units are also available.
