Simpson Housing Services | providing shelter and affordable housing to men, women and children experiencing homelessness.

The new school year is just around the corner

Every August, we help the kids in our Family Housing program get the new school year kicked off right.

The School Readiness Workshop helps get parents and kids in the spirit for a great year. Thanks to our many volunteers we are able to supply every school-aged child with the supplies needed for their grade-level.

Simpson’s immediate goal is to get people off the street.

Our longer-term goal is to ensure that people have the resources they need to move from homelessness to permanent housing.

We are committed to the belief that men, women and children experiencing homelessness can be housed with a bit of time, stability, and encouragement. We know that close individual advocacy, support and education will greatly benefit them and help ensure them finding a place to call home.
