Don't let the name fool you, this is a homeless shelter. Diana Byrd, a Newcrest high school teacher, discovered a loophole in the city legislation regarding homeless shelters. If operated under the guise of a library, a building could be open 24 hours a day for facility use. Thus Byrd Home For Friends opened to the public! Equipped with 2 private rooms, 2 semi-private rooms; private 3 piece baths, rec room, cafeteria and laundry facilities. #homelessshelter #shelter #womensshelter #newcrest
