SHELTER, Inc. rebuilds lives one family at a time, by helping them re-establish a home, and assisting with the skills and resources needed to live the life they deserve. Our mission is to prevent and end homelessness for low-income, homeless, and disadvantaged families, and individuals by providing housing, services, support, and resources that lead to self-sufficiency.
Wrap-around services are essential components of long-lasting solutions. Affordability is only one factor that results in someone becoming homeless. Education, training, counseling and goal planning are vital to the success of regaining and maintaining a home.
Since our inception in 1986, over 270,000 children, women and men have been helped through a three-tier approach aimed at preventing homelessness, breaking the cycle of homelessness, and providing affordable housing.

Interim Housing
Beck Avenue Navigation Center (BANC) is a year-round emergency shelter located on 3.5 acres in Fairfield, Ca. BANC can meet the interim housing needs of individuals and families with accommodations including dormitory style rooms, family-sized rooms, and separate apartment-style units. The campus is secured and includes a dining hall, dog kennels, and recreational areas for persons of all ages. Those housed at BANC receive extensive services including case management, employment services, health and wellness checks, connection to benefits and other resources, and individualized success plans to aid them on their path to self-sufficiency and housing. We’ve also completed and opened our Community Hall, with dining area and commercial kitchen for the benefit of our residents.
Long-Term Housing
We offer financial assistance combined with supportive services to help homeless families and individuals overcome the challenges and barriers which led to homelessness.
The objective of these programs is to reduce the duration of homelessness or temporary housing in a shelter, while solving the immediate challenges of finding stable housing and teaching participants how to be good tenants. Connecting our participants to community resources increases stability in the household and puts them on a path to success and upward mobility.
