Many of our homeless neighbors have received shelter at the Inclement Weather Shelter (IWS) at Scout Hall, Benham Park, Placerville. The IWS is a collaborative program with Housing El Dorado, Upper Room Dining Hall, the City of Placerville and the County of El Dorado. On request from the County, the Shelter has been extended for 2 more weeks until mid February.
