Sacred Heart Shelter empowers residents in their efforts to stabilize their lives, connect to resources in the community, and overcome homelessness.
Description:
SHS houses 6 single women and 6 families -- including single mothers, single fathers, two parent families, and multi-generational households -- for up to a period of 90 days. Each household receives full case management and support services, including free access to physical and mental health care and substance abuse counseling. The shelter is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. We have a full time Children's Advocate who works with each family to ensure the particular needs of every child are being met.
History:
Sacred Heart Shelter has been operating for over 20 years and today is a program of the Archdiocesan Housing Authority. SHS exists to help families, women and children rise from the despair of being homeless. We do this by supporting our residents as they work to restore dignity and meaning to their lives. All the services at SHS are provided free of charge, and without regard to race, ethnic origin or religion.
The residents at SHS come to us for a variety of reasons. Some have no income; others have a very small income, which disqualifies them from much of the available housing assistance. Some are victims of domestic violence or other abuse, some suffer from addictions or poor physical health, and some have mental health problems.
