Mental Health Recovery | Shelter House Services

Mental illness affects a significant proportion of individuals experiencing homelessness. A study by the National Institute of Mental Health found that approximately 6% of Americans are severely mentally ill, compared to the 20-25% of the homeless population that experiences severe mental illness. Shelter House addresses homelessness through our Supported Community Living and Fairweather Lodge program which provides access to permanent housing for people with serious and persistent mental illness.

Brake the Cycle 2019 | What is Peer to Peer?

Peer-to-peer fundraising isn't new. For years, many organizations have engaged their supporters — from staff and volunteers to program participants and current donors — to raise funds on their behalf. Traditionally, these campaigns take the form of a walk-a-thon or similar kind of event at which supporters enlist sponsors from their own networks of colleagues, friends, and family. Informally, this kind of distributed fundraising is sometimes called "team," "a-thon," or "friend-to-friend" fundraising.
