shelters and supportive housing

Shelters and supportive housing are services designed to assist people experiencing homelessness or unstable living situations. Shelters provide temporary, safe places to stay, often overnight, offering basic needs and protection from the elements. Supportive housing goes beyond that by providing long-term, stable housing combined with services like counseling, healthcare, and job assistance. This approach helps individuals address underlying challenges, such as mental health issues or addiction, enabling them to live more independently. Both aim to promote safety, stability, and the opportunity for people to rebuild their lives in a healthy, supportive environment.
