The Family Shelter opened on the first day of spring, March 21, 2021. Since that time, over 200 resident families have been welcomed into our emergency residence during these two years. Men and children have found safety and have been supported as they heal from trauma, find new employment and opportunities, and transition into permanent, safe housing.
