Matts House Emergency Shelter for Women & Childen

The mission of Matt’s House is to provide safe and compassionate emergency shelter to homeless women and homeless women with children. While at Matt's House, guests are provided meals, hygiene products, clothing, and referrals to housing and employment resources. Children staying at Matt’s House are enrolled in our After School and Summer Camp Programs. Case management also helps connect our guests to resources specific to each person’s needs. The Community Kitchen offers a free lunch, no questions asked, every day of the year. During the week, volunteers serve meals prepared by our wonderful kitchen, and volunteers purchase, prepare, and serve meals on the weekends.

• Matt's House can host up to 18 guests per night.
• Matt's House is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
• A kitchen and laundry room is available on site.
• For the safety of all, a new guest must be accompanied by law enforcement if arriving after 8pm.

After School Program: During the school year, After-School Program activities include homework assistance, specialized tutoring, field trips, enrichment opportunities, dropout prevention, and college prep and life skills education. Most of our kids and teens are considered “at-risk” because of where they live, what schools they attend, or what circumstances their families endure. Because of this, parents and guardians are also offered help as they try to navigate the school system. They may lack the knowledge, the time, or the skills to find the relevant resources. Our staff acts as liaisons between the schools and parents so that each student has the best opportunity for success. While the major part of our efforts are put into school work, we also make sure some of the afternoon is devoted to play, whether it be on the playground, around a game or card table, or on what is affectionately known as “the field,” (where our students play sports like kickball or freeze tag).
