Good Samaritan Services

We empower our neighbors to transition from housing crises to stability through a personalized, relationship-based approach. By engaging the community, we provide a continuum of care tailored to each individual's unique needs. Our Program Good Sam offers a range of services designed to support individuals at various stages of housing insecurity: -Winter Shelter: Provides a safe space for individuals experiencing homelessness to sleep during the coldest months of the year. Guests receive a warm meal, shower facilities, and a warm bed. -Emergency Housing: Offer up to 60 days of housing to address basic needs and establish goals for individuals in crisis. -Transitional Housing: Supports individuals for up to six months as they work toward their goals while paying program fees (rent). -Affordable Housing: Provides up to one year of housing with increased independence for participants. -Supportive Housing: Offers three or more months of case management and support with rental assistance while participants live in their own housing. -Alumni Services: Provides ongoing support after participants reach stability to ensure long-term success. Additional Support To address the diverse needs of our participants, we offer: -Counseling: In-house counseling services are available at no cost, removing barriers such as insurance and transportation. -Microloan Program: Participants can apply for loans up to $5,000 for essential needs like purchasing a car or making a down payment on housing. -Matched Savings Program: Encourages good saving habits by matching up to $1,00, often used for moving expenses or debt repayment. -Personalized case management: Every participant receives, on average, over 30 case management meetings during their time in the Good Sam program.
