Youre at a new shelter expecting a full house tonight. Reporter they certainly are. The doors open at 5 00 tonight and already dozens of people have poured in. Last night about 90 people spent the night at the shelter, and even more are expected tonight. The home first shelter opened december 5th, its run differently than many other shelters in the bay area. Clients have to be referred by another agency to come here, but then they are guaranteed to spend every night here until the end of march. Also, unlike other shelters in the area, clients here are allowed to stay until 9 00 the next morning. Youre up at 5 but have until 9 00 to get out. Its less freezing. At 5 30 in the morning you go where my car was covered in ice. Clients can also bring in pets and keep them in a kennel as long as they have their shots. Because of the cold temperatures if someone shows up tonight without a referral, they will be able to stay here for 72 hours. After that they need a referral to stay longer. The office of Supportive Housing declared the entire month of december an inclement weather episode which means the shelters are allowed to take in more people than usual. So at this shelter they normally would allow 100 but tonight because of the cold they can accept 125. And san joses shelter can take in 330 tonight. In sunnyvale, clients receive a hot meal and have access to shelters. If you would like to make donations to this shelter they have a need for specific items. Bus tokens, also extra large sweatshirts and sweat pants for both men and women and shoes of all sizes. If you would like to drop those off come down to the shelter which is located on Innovation Way in sunnyvale. Reporting live in sunnyvale, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. Thanks marianne.
