A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I need help finding emergency housing or shelter.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Youth Emergency Shelter program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Detroit/Wayne County; will serve youth in crisis?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see 24/7. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see walk in or call 313-463-2000; services available 24/7.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
