Welcome House meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Stated Purpose:
Our mission is to provide a continuum of services that will end homelessness and promote stability for each person we serve.
Year, State Incorporated:
1983, KY
Since 1981 Welcome House has been a leader in guiding clients from housing uncertainty to housing stability. We accomplish this through two service areas: Homeless Solutions and Housing and Supportive Services.
The Homeless Solutions program includes Street Outreach/Medical Street Outreach; the Front Door Program; Diversion; Service Coordination; Social Security Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR); and all Shelter Services. These programs play an integral part in finding those in need of homeless services, assessing what their exact needs are, and then strategizing how we are able to respond to their needs. Currently, we have two shelters: the Shelter for Homeless Women, Children, and Families and the Men's Homeless Veteran's Shelter.
The Housing and Supportive Services Department encompasses the following programs: Rapid Rehousing; Permanent Supportive Housing; Gardens at Greenup; Coordinated Entry; the HOME Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program (TBRA); and the Representative Payee Program. This program allows us the opportunity find housing options for our program participants, which fulfills our ultimate mission of housing stability. Welcome House also owns 93 affordable housing units in total.
Each of these programs is designed to help program participants remove barriers to find and maintain stable housing through various resources such as financial assistance, benefits acquisition for those experiencing mental and/or physical disabilities, and find housing for families with children.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Welcome House's program expenses were:
| Regional services | $1,997,127 |
| Housing and supportive services | $1,348,209 |
| Homeless services | $1,230,608 |
