Homeless Solutions - Morristown
For the homeless and working poor in our community, hope begins at Homeless Solutions, Inc. where they offer shelter, services, and supportive housing to homeless and low-income people. A private, non-profit organization, Homeless Solutions has been helping those in need since 1983. Their case managers offer the support needed to help our guests rebuild their lives and successfully return to independent living. They develop permanent supportive housing that is energy efficient for very low, low, and moderate-income families and individuals. Their motto is: A handUP, not a handOUT.
