EMERGENCY HOUSING PROGRAM
"Providing Families a Hand Up"

 

The Emergency Housing Program serves homeless families that come to us with many complex problems such as addictions, abusive relationships and poor life skills. Housing is provided in one of Shelter Care's 14 apartments  for a maximum of 90 days. Case Managers work with families to develop weekly goals in employment, education, child services and housing to ensure transition into a more stable lifestyle. SCM, in cooperation with many other community providers, offers support services to our families.
