Sacred
Heart Shelter exists to provide safe housing in a home-like atmosphere to
homeless families and single women as they seek to address the issues that
have resulted in homelessness.
We believe that the transition from homelessness to contributing member of
the community is a process, one that takes time, effort and perseverance.
It is often involves picking up and reassembling life’s broken pieces.
Often these people’s lives are so completely broken that they are forced
to start over. At Sacred Heart Shelter, we are a support network for our residents
as they go through the process. 
Based upon these beliefs, SHS has developed the following:
