Emergency Housing

If you’re facing acute homelessness and have been referred by the Department of Social Services, our Emergency Housing program is designed to provide you with a safe place to stay. HONOR offers an adult shelter as well as a family shelter providing a safe and secure environment for all those in indeed. These shelters are located at our Middletown, N.Y. facility. Our Crisis Services program goes beyond just providing a roof over your head. We offer a wide range of services to foster growth, development, and self-sufficiency.
