Carpenter’s is a national model of a community working together to end and prevent homelessness. Carpenter’s Shelter is routinely recognized for our achievements and innovative approach to addressing the root causes of homelessness.

“The Carpenter’s Shelter is so important to people that are homeless because it not only gets people off the streets but it helps us get our dignity back.”
