EMERGENCY SHELTER NETWORK

The Emergency Shelter Network (ESN) consists of 41 respite bed sites, located in all 5 boroughs of New York City. During the winter months, the capacity of the network exceeds 400 beds. The Emergency Shelter Network is not a governmental agency. Our network is an alternative to the City-operated shelters for homeless adult individuals. It is the ESN's belief that the personal attention, intimate setting (member shelters can typically accommodate between 10 and 20 guests), and most importantly respect, give our guests a firm foundation to move out of homelessness, ESN's ultimate goal.

The Emergency Shelter Network (ESN) is committed to respecting the privacy and the confidentiality of information provided to it or which it collects...
