I should have mentioned right away that I am not homeless, I am the Executive Director of Samaritan House, the local homeless shelter in the Flathead Valley.Samaritan House offers temporary shelter as well as transitional and permanent housing. There are 20 beds for single gentlemen, 8 beds for single ladies and five apartments for homeless families. There are 14 transitional housing apartments and 32 permanent housing apartments and a commercial kitchen that serves approximately 20,000 meals annually. In all levels of our care combined Samaritan House serves nearly 1,500 local homeless people annually. Typically there are nearly 100 local homeless people at the Samaritan House on any given night and every bed is full every night.
