People Serving People is the region’s largest and most comprehensive family-focused homeless shelter.

Our vision is “People Serving People envisions a community in which all children have the stability and support they need to develop their full capacity to thrive.”

Our mission is “People Serving People helps homeless and at-risk children and their families manage crisis situations and build a strong foundation for their long-term success.”

People Serving People achieves its mission and goals by providing emergency housing and community services, which assist families experiencing homelessness to become self-sufficient and reconnected with the community. In a safe, secure, and sober environment, we provide services which cultivate independence and accountability.

What distinguishes us from other emergency shelters is the broad range of on-site programs and services designed to address common barriers faced by families experiencing homelessness. We help families find ways to overcome these barriers to self-sufficiency through advocacy, employment, education, and parenting programs.
