Not as far our shelter goes. We do not deny clients based on their citizenship.

Subject: Homeless Coalition - question re citizenship
Hi Team!
I have just learned of an international student at TCC that was denied entry into a homeless shelter because they are not a US citizen. I don’t know anything more than that. Is citizenship something that is used in screening for shelters
in Pierce County?
Thanks!
