The shelter, which aims to meet the immediate needs of the homeless, will be open to all the homeless regardless of age, gender and nationality, and will provide beds, food and clothing, as well as hygiene care.

The facility will be operated by the Athens Archdiocese's NGO "Apostoli".
The shelter will be able to house approximately 450 persons per day, and will be open from noon to 7:00 the following morning, at which time it will close for cleaning and other maintenance work.
The 'guests' will be supplied with a special card, and may use the shelter's services once per week in order to facilitate the highest possible number of needy people.
