Bell Family Shelter opened in 1986 as York County's only 30-day emergency shelter serving homeless families. Many of the families served by the Shelter find themselves homeless because of insufficient income, job loss or poor housing conditions. As a safe, temporary place with supportive services, the Shelter helps families to regain their independence.
Bell Family Shelter's eleven-bedroom facility houses as many as forty people per night and provides all the basic needs for food, clothing and shelter. The Shelter's intensive staff support helps many families to secure permanent housing in fewer than 20 days.
Most of the families (89%) utilizing the Shelter never need to access emergency housing again.
Bell's Bridge Housing Program provides clients with transitional housing and staff supports for up to one year to allow residents to work on long-term goals.
