Our measurable impact is demonstrated by the fact that over 93% of clients who graduate from the shelter, receive Rapid Re-Housing funding, and continue on with our community case management program remain in permanent housing during their first year out of the shelter, which is a very vulnerable time.

At Carpenter’s Shelter, we believe that every person has a right to shelter. No one shall be denied shelter or services on the grounds of race, color, national origin, creed, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, or any characteristic protected by law.

Our vision is of a society where all are included and all, no matter how disadvantaged, can make a contribution. Catching Lives works towards ending the harm caused to individuals, families and the community, by homelessness, rough sleeping and insecure housing
