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 and Housing program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Washtenaw County primary; may assist others?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Crisis line 24/7; Drop-in Mon-Fri 10am-5pm. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call or text crisis line 24/7 at 734-662-2222; walk in to drop-in center.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
