Homelessness is not just a national issue. Right here in Genesee County there are more than 200 individuals living in emergency shelters every night; countless others are sleeping on a friend’s couch, living on the streets, sleeping in their cars, or staying in abandoned buildings.

H ousing is the most basic of needs that plays a role in a family’s well-being. Working under the principle that housing is a right, not a reward, Shelter of Flint’s comprehensive approach to combating homelessness is intended to move our clients along a continuum of care that connects families to community resources and works on solving the root cause of their homelessness.

Our emergency shelter fills to maximum capacity virtually every night. 60% of the people who come into our emergency shelter are children under the age of 10. Roughly 40% of people who come to us for emergency shelter are homeless for the first time.

OUR MISSION

Safe housing, independence, and stability.
