The Warming Center
Room at the Inn's services are all provided under one roof in our 30-bed shelter, located at 447 W. Washington Street in downtown Marquette, MI. We are both a low-barrier and behavior-based shelter, meaning there are no income, sobriety, or identification requirements for entry into our shelter. Our only requirements for access to shelter is that you are literally homeless and willing to actively work on a housing plan with our case managers. The shelter is open 24/7, 365 days a year. Our services include but are not limited to:
1. 24/7 Emergency Shelter
2. Phone/Mail Service
3. Shower/Laundry Service
4. Free Meals Daily
5. Case Management through our Guest Advocate
