Organizations Filed Purposes:
The mission of SHELTER, Inc. is to prevent and end homelessness for low-income, homeless, and disadvantaged families and individuals by providing housing, services, support, and resources that lead to self-sufficiency.
Ending the Cycle of Homelessness: SHELTER, INC. provides homeless families and individuals with interim and permanent housing opportunities and services to help them regain housing and increased self-sufficiency. This Housing First approach is designed to help reduce the incidences and duration of homelessness for low-income and disadvantaged people who are eligible under a variety of publicly-funded housing programs. Services that are critical to success include one-on-one case management, housing search assistance, employment services, education, mental health counseling, and budgeting guidance. During the year, 1,538 women, children and men were placed in permanent housing.
Preventing Homelessness: Prevention is a cost-effective and humane strategy for addressing the needs of families and individuals who are at-risk of homelessness, usually as a result of an unexpected event which temporarily makes them unable to meet their rent obligations. Depending on their level of risk, households are offered individualized intensive case management along with financial assistance either on a one-time basis or as short term (typically 3 to 12 months) support as they stabilize their housing and develop resources for greater financial self-sufficiency. During the year, 643 women, children and men were prevented from becoming homeless.
Providing Affordable Housing: Affordable housing means having a safe place to live at a price you can afford. It currently takes 4.5 full-time minimum wage jobs to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Contra Costa County. SHELTER, Inc. owns and master leases units that offer safe, quality rental units at affordable rents or which are subsidized for eligible program participants to increase the stock of units accessible to vulnerable families and individuals. During the year, 158 women, children and men were provided low-income affordable housing often paying no more than 30% of their income towards rent.
