Our new home

"The freedom, in my opinion, to be yourself and take the time and space you need to heal while also getting the help you need to succeed in life is the most helpful thing about the Shelterhouse for me. "

Shelterhouse Client, Survivor

We moved into our new facility weeks earlier than planned, just days before Michigan shut down due to Covid-19. Our advocates and countless volunteers worked diligently to prepare the new facility for the families moving from the former shelter.

Upon arrival, the residents voiced their amazement and appreciation for the safety and security of the building, not to mention having their own bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and dining area!

Since those initial families, we have welcomed numerous survivors to our Waldo location. We never grow tired of watching the faces of clients as they are welcomed here. These reactions often include how safe our building makes them feel - the comfort of having their own doors lock behind them to the beauty of their new surroundings. Our new trauma informed facility really provides a refuge where healing and hope prevail. We are so thankful.
