Small Project: StreetShelter — A Night Off the Streets

Homeless Support Initiative: — Social Work & Community Engagement Projects

Overview:

StreetShelter is a community-based initiative designed to offer people experiencing homelessness a safe and welcoming place to rest and recharge, treating shelter not just as a roof but as a place of dignity, belonging, and hope. 

Key Features:

• Inclusive shelter space: Ground-level sleeping options and comfortable, non-judgmental environment tailored to individual needs.  
• More than a bed: Nourishing meals and supportive conversation help participants as they rebuild confidence and find pathways forward.  
• Holistic support: Alongside rest, the project includes listening support and opportunities to reconnect with resources and services.  
• Advocacy focus: The work also highlights the right to housing and challenges systemic causes of homelessness.  

Mission:

To provide rest, compassion, and human connection to those who are unhoused — creating experiences of home and community rather than mere survival.
