Shelter Services

The primary service we provide families is a private room and three meals a day. Working in conjunction with outside businesses, organizations, and individuals, we provide many other important services in addition to food and shelter.

Family Supportive Housing, Inc. relies on over 45 church groups and 1,000 volunteers each year. We view them as an integral part of the team. Without our wonderful volunteers, we would be unable to offer the quality of care we provide to families in crisis. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit our volunteering page for more information.
