About Us
Welcome to the homeless shelter directory where we list not only homeless shelters, but also anything related to assisting and helping the homeless. Our listings range from standard homeless shelters to transitional housing and outreach centers, to day shelters and food pantries.
If you are looking for help, navigate to your local city and we most likely have shelter and or homeless services in that area.
* We recommend that you call the provider number next to each listing for assistance. I normally get emails every day asking me for assistance personally.
We also have a Question and Answer section on all listing pages, that users have let us know is very helpful for people looking for more detailed information on the shelters and services. Be sure to check this out for more helpful information.
Donations & Volunteering
I have been getting numerous emails (about 50 daily) with people asking me for information on where to donate items or how to find shelters for volunteering opportunities. These are all GREAT questions. Unfortunately, I am in no position to answer your questions as I am not familiar with all areas or shelters. If you have these types of questions, it would be best if you search out the shelter on this website and then contact the shelter directly. As recently pointed out by the United Way, they advised it might even be better to call 211 in your area. They can also be a great assistance for emergency assistance.
Need Listing Updated
If you need a listing updated, please contact us by visiting this page: Contact Us Page. I will make the changes as soon as possible. When emailing me please do not send me an email and ask me if this is the appropriate email for your updates. This will take time for me to go through emails, email you back.. etc etc.
Obtain Copies of Homeless Shelter Database
I have been working on this website daily since 2006. I do not provide copies of my data to anyone. I get daily emails from people who request copies of all of my data. I do not give away or sell any data on this website. All of the data is available for free on the website itself.
Why all of the Advertisements?
Unfortunately, we need to place advertisements on the website to defer some of the costs associated with the website.We are not a non profit organization and we do not receive donations. I have worked with non-profit organizations that have struggled, gone out of business, and spent an inordinate amount of time finding donations. I concluded the best way to defer costs was by putting the Google Advertisements on the website.
Thanks for visiting!
