KEY SERVICES

IHS’ doors opened for the ﬁrst time forty-ﬁve years ago. During that ﬁrst year, an average of 60 individuals were helped daily. Today, over 1,600 people are assisted each day across our outreach, shelters, supportive services, employment, and housing programs.

The paths to stable housing are as unique as the households themselves. We listen to stories, hear challenges, help set personal goals, and offer tailored solutions. Where compassion and support are offered in large measure, we see guests regain hope, heal, begin to open up, ask and accept help, and even reconnect with family members.

Our heart has always been about mobilizing the community to heal brothers and sisters on the margins, gathering resources for those in need, and re-establishing people in a home. As a community, we’re ending the cycle of homelessness together.

Services include: case management; children and family programming; community re-entry; emergency shelter; employment assistance; health services; home- less prevention; homeless triage; homeless veterans’ help; housing navigation; meals; medical respite; mental health treatment and crisis stabilization; outreach; pre-vocational programs; relocation assistance; substance use detox and recovery.
