The shelter services service area is responsible for all of the temporary housing facilities of the organization. This includes operation of the emergency shelter for women, children and families, the veterans shelter, the medical respite shelter and other temporary seasonal emergency shelters. The organization's emergency shelters collectively provide shelter to 75-80 individuals daily. During their stay in a shelter, participants have access to other supportive services including case management and transportation as well as other resources including 3 meals a day and personal care items.

This housing and supportive services service area includes the operation and oversight of a variety of assisted housing projects as well as the representative payee financial services program. The housing projects include two rapid re-housing rental assistance programs, a homeless prevention rental assistance program, a scatter-site permanent supportive housing project, an 8-unit site-based supportive housing program (king's crossing) and a tenant based rental assistance program.
