As a 501(c)3 charitable organization, Carpenter’s Shelter takes pride in the way we manage generous contributions from individuals, foundations, faith-based groups, businesses and organizations. These funds go towards providing homeless individuals and families with the tools they need to end their crises and transition into sustainable, permanent housing. Carpenter’s Shelter is powered by the community with our largest source of funding coming from individual donors. Only one-third of our funding comes from the government, whereas most homeless shelters receive 80-90% of their funding from government sources.
