Find Homeless Shelters, Emergency Housing and Transitional Housing Near You

We are constantly building the most complete list of shelters, including women's shelters, men's shelters, homeless shelters, as well as emergency and transitional housing. Many people and homeless shelters are in desperate need of assistance. If you can donate or volunteer, please use the contact information we have listed for each organization. If you are in need of assistance, we have also compiled an exhaustive list of local shelters and other resources.

Before Visiting Your Local Shelter or Support Center::

First, have a pen, pencil, paper, computer or something in order to take notes.
Give them a call using the contact information we provide.
Get the name of the person you contact and write it down.
If the person you contact cannot help, be sure to ask who may be able to help you.
Many housing authorities and government agencies are short staffed and in need of volunteers.
There may be long waiting lists for assistance, so be sure you get on their list as early as possible.
Be sure to thank the person you speak with. They are often underpaid, or volunteer. They may remember you next time.
