Highland County Homeless Shelter
The Highland County Homeless Shelter, established in 2004, is located in Hillsboro, Ohio, and is a 501(c) (3) non-profit emergency homeless shelter. Capacity is 28 beds, and the shelter serves single men, single women, and families with children. We provide a complete case-managed program that assists the client with overcoming the barriers which led them to homelessness. These services include but are not limited to benefit application assistance for SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, SSI / SSDI, Veteran’s Services, and many more. Assistance with resume writing, employment search, GED procurement, budgeting and finance, food and nutrition, medical appointments and prescriptions, parenting classes, and general life skills are provided. Rapid-Rehousing programs are available to aid a client in securing stable housing, and referrals for mental health, addiction, domestic violence, veterans, and youth services are provided while at the shelter. Bedding, clothing, toiletries, and all food are provided during the client's stay, allowing them to have a safe, secure, stable environment to begin to rebuild their lives. Funding and donations are vital to the Highland County Homeless Shelters' success. The shelter employs 1 full-time employee Greg Hawkins, Executive Director; we are both on-call twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This allows us to keep our overhead low and provide additional services to our clients. The Highland County Homeless Shelter is seeking monetary donations for our annual capital campaign. Information and updates about the shelter can be found at www.highlandcountyhomelessshelter.com and on Facebook. Your generosity will make a difference in our community by permitting us to continue our work with those in need. Greg Hawkins, Executive Director
