In Springfield, sites may be located in church or industrial parking lots. The property owner may grant permission for 1 to 3 families. Sites hosting families are managed by Catholic Community Services (CCS) at no cost to the host. The City of Springfield provides some funding for garbage disposal, portable restrooms, and management of the program. FAQS How are the sites kept clean and safe? Sites must have sanitary facilities and waste disposal services. Personal items must not be visible from the street. CCS provides guest screening and case management. How do hosts deal with liability? Hosts are expected to have their own general liability insurance and should inform their insurance company about their participation in the program. CCS can also name the Host as an additional insured on the CCS liability insurance, if requested. What happens if a family is not a good fit? Contact CCS. They will work to find a solution and, if needed, ask the family to leave & select a family that may be a better fit. Can a church or business host a family without the help of CCS? No, in Springfield the overnight shelter site must be part of a supervised program. Where can I find additional information about becoming a host?
