The Shelter of Flint serves more than 1000 homeless adults and children every day! The average stay for their client is 37 days and they consistently report 90% in positive housing destinations.

On February 22, ten volunteers from our church went to serve at the Shelter of Flint. We organized their attic storage and washed/waxed their dining room floor. Our church family helped them make a difference in our world using our time, talents and treasure (we use some of the mission budget to support their essential services).

The Shelter of Flint has several essential programs: (1) They provide emergency shelter for the homeless, (2) They provide transitional and permanent housing, (3) They provide comprehensive housing placement services in Genesee County, and (4) They provide the Homeless Outreach program as a point of entry for Genesee County including street outreach, wrap around services that partner with other community agencies, and information and referrals for needed services.
