General information
Established in 1998, the mission of Transitional Food and Shelter is to provide temporary shelter and supportive services for the homeless and medically fragile of San Luis Obispo County. Residents who are homeless, medically fragile and in need of recuperative care are provided temporary housing in studio apartments and provided supportive services and case management to ensure recovery or the dignity of housing when hospice care is needed. For residents of Atascadero who are homeless and unable to locate other shelter, TFS operates a low barrier warming center in Atascadero from November 15th through March 31st when the temperature is expected to be 40 degrees or less and/or there is a 50% chance or greater for rain. Meals, clothing and other supportive services are provided during the season.
