Emergency Shelter – Almost Home
Almost Home is an overnight shelter for our families experiencing homelessness! With the support of the RJS Foundation, we opened the 5,000 sq/ft shelter home with 7 bedrooms in August 2022. This is is a place where are families can recover from the trauma of homelessness and begin to rebuild their lives. Our Family Advocates provide intense, individualized case management to help the families take the necessary steps toward lasting stability. Families usually staying with us for 30-60 days before moving into their own home. We then stay with these families for up to two years to ensure their stability.
How To Support Our Shelter Families
Volunteer at Almost Home Shelter – You can support the residents by assisting with childcare when needed, tutoring children, cleaning, and various projects. Contact Maddy to become involved.
Prepare Meals for Almost Home Shelter – The families at Almost Home Shelter rely on volunteers from the community to provide them with dinner each day. This can be done in many ways: bring a hot prepared meal, bring supplies and a recipe for residents to prepare, bring casseroles or other freezer meals, etc. Bringing dinner can be a great opportunity to interact with the residents over dinner and hear their stories!
