Welcome to the Bangor Area Homeless Shelter
The Bangor Area Homeless Shelter is a facility open 365 days a year, providing both overnight shelter as well as a Day Program.
We serve homeless adults and very low income members of our community. Our primary purpose is to offer a form of crisis stabilization and then develop a support system to empower people to move beyond their current crisis and homelessness. We are emphatically collaborative in our efforts.
The Shelter provides emergency, short-term shelter to homeless people aged 18 and above within the limits of our resources and our mission, and consistent with our funding and financial sources. Every effort is made to provide a safe and secure environment in an atmosphere of mutual respect. It is expected that all guests of the Shelter do their best to behave in ways that are respectful of themselves, all others at the shelter, and the Greater Bangor Community. The policies are designed to ensure the safety and well-being of all who use the Shelter.
