	At the end of 2007, Opening Doors opened Teresa Shelter day and night to see if homeless women and children needed uninterrupted refuge. As a result of the trial period, the Opening Doors board voted in January to continue offering the 24-hour emergency refuge until there was no need or funds were not available.

	Dealing with the [[PANDEMIC]] of 2020 forced some changes in the procedures of the shelter. Residents first stayed in the emergency sleeping room which was filled with bunk beds. To lessen the chance of passing germs, people slept head to toe. Officials also moved people more quickly to provide some privacy and social distancing alone or with their children. A trauma and grief group was established and rent and utility subsidies were also provided when possible.
