The Tallahassee-Leon Shelter, Inc. - Endowment Fund

Mission: The Shelter is a 24-hour comprehensive emergency service center that serves as a point of entry into assistance by coordinating services and responding to immediate needs of individuals and families until appropriate permanent housing can be arranged. The Shelter responds to the emergency needs of people for shelter, food, personal hygiene, clothing, medical assistance and medications, and crisis intervention services without charging fees. We also offer support services and referrals to other area agencies that we partner with as necessary for food stamps, housing placement, substance abuse counseling, legal aid, health care, job training and employment. The Shelter serves as the entry point into homeless assistance for individuals and families with children 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
