When I first got to Seattle it took me three days to figure out what the Urban Rest Stop was and about. With the help of the staff and the facilities availabile it has enabled me to maintain myself to be presented to others and myself, not only on the outside, but as a pick-up mentally and keep some level of sanity through the madness of being homeless.
It helps me out in a lot of different ways. Having a job and doing the kind of work I do. Not having a place at the moment to shower, when you need to. Other places that have services for the homeless shut down at the end of business hours. But the Urban Rest Stop stays open long enough for a person to take a shower when they get off work.
The Urban Rest Stop has been helpful to me. Having a job that is unpredictable, the hours of operation is greatly helpful. Thanks.
