Emergency Shelter

Shelterhouse offers free & confidential emergency shelter to individuals and families fleeing dangerous and unsafe situations. Our emergency shelter contains 15 individual rooms and 48 beds, ensuring that survivors of any age, gender identity, or sexual orientation can seek safe refuge with their children and/or their pets.

While in Shelter, clients work alongside Shelterhouse advocates to identify needs, work towards personal goals, and establish safe housing in order to transition out of Shelter.
