People end up in situations like this (homeless) and it can make or break them.  So if you have someplace to keep your spirits lifted while you’re in a transition, it’s a good thing.”
Robbin & James, Former Shelter House Clients

"STAR helped me stay on the road to recovery because I was struggling going back and forth between addictions and using.  They did not give up on me which in turn made me not give up on myself."
Wendell, STAR Client

"I believe that everyone deserves the chance to make a better life for themselves and their families. Shelter House gives people that opportunity."
Kafi Dixon, STAR Program Manager
