Come in from the

cold

The Night Off The Streets (NOTS) Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to keeping people experiencing homelessness in Carson City from freezing during the coldest winter months. We accept anyone in need of a warm place to sleep at night. Since NOTS has opened, not one person has died from cold exposure on the streets in Carson. 

Hosting

NOTS is hosted by our partner churches in Carson City. Currently without a permanent location, NOTS rotates to a different location each month. Our partner churches open their doors each winter to anyone in need of a warm place to sleep at night. 

Volunteers

Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. Volunteers are offered annual training and support as needed in order to provide or guests with a safe place to sleep. Volunteers always serve shifts in pairs.

Supporting our Guests

NOTS helps to provide a stable environment where  our community partners can identify needs and supports for our guests. We strive to connect each guest that enters our doors with the services they need to stabilize and thrive in our community. 

Leading Causes of Homelessness:

1) Unemployment
2) Inability to afford rent
3) Disability, including mental health/substance abuse disorders
4) Life crisis/significant loss
5) Domestic violence

Our Guests Come First

1) Safer streets, safer community
  • According to the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, calls for police assistance dropped dramatically when the shelter was open
2) Zero deaths related to exposure
  • Prior to the shelter opening, citizens of Carson City died from exposure right here on our streets.  ​

Our Goal is Safety

Our guests and volunteers are held to strict community standards. Volunteers receive training and support, and guests are expected to adhere to our center's rules. We at NOTS work tirelessly to partner with various agencies, including the Carson City Sheriff's Office. Together we can create a safer home in Carson City!
