On a rainy day, two crisis shelters and two tents are seen on grass outside a sandstone building. The shelter on the left is white with a small window on one side, covered in Tyvek house wrap painted with a black grid on one side and red scribbles on the other side. In the centre, there's a purple and grey tent in front of another shelter, with a wooden door with three small windows. Next to that shelter, there's a red and grey tent.
