Family Shelter
We offer shelter, support, and guidance to families in need, helping them regain stability and independence. Our doors are open to families from all backgrounds, and we welcome diversity with open arms. We firmly believe that anyone can face difficult times, and we are here to help without judgment. Our emergency shelter has been a lifeline for countless families in crisis, providing refuge to 61 families escaping violence and 42 families seeking asylum as refugees in 2022-2023.
