ShelterCare shelters and supports families and individuals providing each an opportunity to live the fullest possible life in an environment that fosters well-being and success. The agency's eleven programs help move people toward greater levels of independence.

Creating a caring community has been a guiding theme for ShelterCare since the agency’s organization in 1970. Supported by private and public contributions, the nonprofit agency has grown from a single homeless shelter to several distinct programs that serve individuals in need of residential support services.

ShelterCare is a private, nonprofit human services agency directed by a board of community volunteers. Program services are provided in three areas

• a range of mental health programs from supported living to intensive residential care, with several programs specifically for people who are homeless
• residential training programs for survivors of acquired brain injury
• emergency shelter and transitional support for families with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness
• homelessness prevention services for families with a good chance of remaining in their homes
  

Community contributions sponsor a significant portion of the agency’s service in the form of in- kind donations, volunteer time and generous financial support. All donations to the agency are tax deductible. The agency’s federal ID number is 23-7115003
