WINTER OVERNIGHT SHELTER
FOR HOMELESS ADULTS
The mission of To Our House is to provide winter shelter for homeless
adults in the New River Valley and connect them with resources that lead
to employment, housing, and personal economic sustainability.
To Our House (TOH) is a growing group of interested citizens, faith communities, and social and human service professionals who have joined to provide temporary winter shelter for homeless adults in the New River Valley.
Sponsored by To Our House in partnership with New River Valley interfaith congregations and community organizations.
Homelessness looks very different in the New River Valley than it does in more urban areas. Individuals in our area who find themselves without housing often include those:
- Experiencing long-term unemployment due to the economy
- Awaiting approval for government homeless-intervention pro-grams or a disability determination
Many of the guests who have found shelter through TOH have previously lived in the woods, caves, storm culverts, a friend’s pickup truck, or a cardboard box.
HOW TO OUR HOUSE WORKS:
-
- call and screen
- Sign-in and distribution of house rules.
- A hot evening meal is provided with time for fellowship.
- Guests enjoy breakfast in the morning. A bag lunch is provided for the day.
