Overview

Mission

Sheltercare offers a variety of housing and support services for people who are homeless or those facing homelessness with a committed focus on the community's most vulnerable individuals dealing with psychiatric disabilities, acquired brain injuries and homeless families. Sheltercare provides emergency housing, short term housing and permanent supported housing and behavioral health services. Additionally, sheltercare provides support to build skills for independent living and household stability.

What it reported doing in 2024

Housing programs: sheltercare provides emergency housing, transitional housing, and prevention services to unhoused community members or those at risk of losing their housing. 260 families were provided financial assistance and case management to avoid losing their housing. 130 families were temporarily housed when experiencing a crisis in their housing. During their stay, those families work with staff to secure permanent affordable housing and upon exit, 51 out of 57 transitioned to permanent housing. In addition, sheltercare also provided short term housing for 62 homeless adults who needed a safe place to continue recovery after a hospital stay.
