We are The Listening House, a daytime shelter for people experiencing poverty, homelessness, and loneliness. Anyone who drops in can find safety, a hot cup of coffee, and a caring community to help or just listen.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

Because our neighbors need us. Last year, over 2,157 sought support through us.

Our guests are typically folks experiencing homelessness, deep poverty, and/or isolation. Many experience multiple barriers to maintaining housing such as chronic physical and mental health conditions, and substance abuse disorder.
