Who We Are

About Shelter the Homeless

Shelter the Homeless is a nonprofit organization with a goal to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. We do this by providing emergency shelter facilities that support case management and high-impact, transformational interventions, helping those experiencing homelessness resolve their immediate crisis and rapidly return to stable housing.

Our Board of Directors is a unique blend of engaged and well-informed community members from both the public and private sectors, working together to support solutions that advance this goal.
