Stated Purpose:

Year, State Incorporated:
1983, KY
Since 1982 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 three shelters: the Shelter for Homeless Women and Children, Family Promise, 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.
These programs allow us the opportunity find housing options for our program participants, which fulfills our ultimate mission of housing stability. 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. Welcome House served over 6,000 men, women, and children throughout the 28 programs in 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, Welcome House's program expenses were:
| Shelter services | $1,614,603 |
| Housing and supportive services | $1,607,145 |
| Homeless services | $1,403,168 |
| Regional services | $531,112 |
