NEW COMMUNITY SHELTER INC

The New Community Shelter has three primary responsibilities to the community. First we are a homeless shelter for adults with a mission to provide shelter, case management, education and many supportive services. Not only to we help a person become self-sufficient, we also address individual issues that caused a person to become homeless in the first place. We are a zero-tolerance facility with rules and expectations, and we operate in an atmosphere of respect. Additionally, we have a Transitional Living Program. In this program, individuals in the Emergency Shelter Program can work their way into this program allowing them more time to work on issues that may have contributed to their homelessness. We have 20 apartments, four of which are dedicated to serve homeless veterans. Lastly, we have a Community Meal Program that serves any adults and children from throughout the community that are hungry. We serve dinner 365 days a year and lunch every weekend and all holidays. We only ask that participants, most of whom do not live at the shelter, are peaceful and sober when they join us for a meal.
