Business Description
"Support, Housing, Community."
In 1985, our local community created the SHC in a grassroots effort to address the social crisis of homelessness. Neighbors, community activists, university students, faith-based leaders, business supporters, and city officials united to make the SHC's first endeavor -- the city's first emergency shelter for homeless adults -- a reality.
SHC now administers a total of ten programs within four categories:
SHELTER
- Adult Shelter
- Family Shelter
HOUSING
- Prevention & Stabilization Services
- Sewell Street SRO
- Shelter Plus Care
- Sobriety & Stability
- Better Homes I & II
- Home For Good
CASE MANAGEMENT
- Passages
FOOD SERVICES
- Project SOUP
SHC is considered Greater Somerville's lead agency in responding to homeless and hunger related situations and issues.
