Where Can I Sleep?

NEST is the Taos crisis shelter at 601 Lovato Place (behind the courthouse). Adult (18+ years old) women, men, and gender expansive individuals who are in need of emergency overnight shelter can check in by 8 p.m. nightly for a bed. Families with children in need of shelter can either come to NEST by 8 p.m. or call DreamTree directly at 575-758-9595 for the Family Emergency Shelter.
