Transitional Family Shelter

No one should be living on the street

Thomas House is a family shelter dedicated to transforming lives.

Our mission is to do more than house those in need. We want to help families overcome generational poverty by becoming more self-sufficient.

Thomas House provides transitional rent-free shelter in 20 fully furnished apartment units with food, supplies, and clothing. Families receive weekly groceries and supplies from our on-site food pantry, and new or gently used clothing from community vouchers and donations.

A quarter of a million people are homeless in the United States. Whether it’s individuals or single mothers or even full families, this is a crisis no one should suffer.
Our mission is to help families overcome generational poverty and live a life of sustainability.
We provide temporary housing to help families get back on their feet. But we also offer supportive programs and services so they can live self-sufficient lives going forward.
We are dedicated to helping people get back on their feet.
We offer extensive programs that require full dedication from our clients with strict guidelines to follow.
Transitional Shelter: (6 month - 2 year program)
We provide transitional rent-free shelter in 20 fully furnished apartment units with food, supplies, and clothing. Families receive weekly groceries and supplies from our on-site food pantry, and new or gently used clothing from community vouchers and donations.
In addition to housing we also provide:
- Case Management to achieve personal goals
- Career Development to help with work placement
- Youth Development to help with school and education
- Teen Case Management to set future goals
- Housing Navigation to help secure housing
- Mental Health Services to provide counseling

Homeless Prevention:
When our clients leave, we want them to thrive going forward. This is why we maintain certain services to continue to help so they can become self-sustainable.
- Budgeting
- Career development
- Youth development
- Groceries
Our biggest need is funding.
Our hope is to pay off our current building so we can expand and offer more apartments to those in need. We currently have a waiting list.
We would also like to increase our pay to staff members to retain our employees.
Donate to help:
- Expand our services
