Shalom House is a non-denominational 501c(3) providing shelter for women and children at several locations in the City of Harrisburg. Programs include emergency shelter, transitional housing for women, to include female veterans.
As part of these programs, Shalom House provides:
• Basic health and wellness needs
• Access to a robust network of community resources
• Group mentoring sessions
• Individualized life coaching and education
Since 2011, Shalom House has served over 815 women and 421 children through all of their housing programs. With a go-to list over 50 support service partners, clients are connected with appropriate agencies, programs and services depending on their personal circumstances and needs. Shalom House focuses on a one to one case management approach and seeks to attend to the root issues of homelessness and recidivism.
The unique 6-prong approach to recovery from homelessness helps clients focus on six key components of a balanced life; family, finance, social, and spiritual, physical, and mental health.
