Project Home provides 24/7 support for families facing homelessness.
Overnight Shelter
Annually, Project Home provides more than 10,300 shelter beds in church social halls, synagogue classrooms, and school cafeterias for families experiencing homelessness. Each month, two area faith communities host 20 emergency shelter beds each. Other faith communities join with them, providing volunteers to support the shelter sites.
During this time of Covid-19, all families have moved to a central location to ensure social distancing.
Day Center
In fall 2019, Interfaith Action opened the Project Home Day Center to serve families who are guests in Project Home overnight shelters. The center provides meals, lockers, showers, educational programming and rapid exit case workers to help families find stable housing. Learn more about our day center, and read more about our rapid exit support.

During the pandemic, we must limit the amount of volunteer contact with Project Home guests. Learn about safe opportunities here.

“Volunteering at Project Home is our chance to be hospitable in the same way my parents were. It’s really important that my kids see it as hospitality. Hospitality is really all about forgetting oneself and attending to the needs of the other.”
—Peter Distelzweig, Church of Saint Mark volunteer
