Our Neighbors' Place Shelter

Our Neighbors’ Place Seasonal Overflow Shelter
Ensuring everyone has a warm, safe place to sleep during Erie’s winter season

A community effort, ONP operates on a rotating basis among several downtown Erie churches during the winter season. Guests are provided  the opportunity to shower, a place to sleep, chaplain services and are introduced to available homeless services. ONP typically begins its season in mid-November and operates through the end of March.

Doors open each night at 7:30 p.m. and guests can stay until 6:30 a.m. the next morning.
