Our 2nd-floor emergency shelter sleeps 38 homeless women and women with children and is the only 24-hour shelter
in Birmingham. First Light offers three meals a day, case management services, and a wealth of resources to assist
our guests as they aim to re-establish themselves in the community. First Light's intensive,
individualized care planning and comprehensive, holistic services address a wide range of needs.
The social services staff stays informed about and collaborates with many agencies to
meet every guest's complex needs. This helps ensure that guests can get healthcare,
legal assistance, job training, substance abuse counseling, referrals to trauma recovery services,
and other services to secure appropriate employment and housing and rebuild their lives.
