The beds are set up, the fridges are full of food, the blankets are ready and more than 190 volunteers are ready to help the homeless in any way they can.

The Safe Shelters Shoalhaven plan will run open to each night from June 1 to September 29 and will give people somewhere to stay. It will also be available in times of emergencies like major storms.

The plan is supported by most churches from around the area and it has the full backing of Shoalhaven City Council.

There will be beds, toilets and kitchen facilities and an upstairs area for women and a downstairs area for men.

There will also be televisions in both areas, but there will not be any shower facilities.

At 8am, when people wake up, they will be taken to the homeless hub where they can have a shower and do their laundry.

The Shoalhaven Homeless Hub is taking bookings and people can call 4423 2804 to get their warm and comfortable bed.
