Social shelter
A social shelter is a facility that provides temporary housing and support services for individuals experiencing homelessness or crisis. Its goal is to offer a safe, stable environment where residents can access basic needs such as food, hygiene, and medical care, while also connecting them with resources like counseling, job training, and long-term housing solutions. Social shelters aim to help people regain stability and independence, acting as a bridge from crisis to improved living conditions. They are often run by government agencies, non-profits, or community organizations dedicated to social welfare.
