WHAT WE DO

Gather:Make:Shelter offers a robust series of programs to unlock creative potential, foster personal growth and enhance the quality of life for people experiencing houselessness and poverty. Our programs empower participants to achieve a sense of well-being, form community and discover new creative paths.

Program Ethos

Gather:Make:Shelter develops our programming through direct engagement. We empower people experiencing houselessness to collaborate in our program direction, take on leadership roles, and build on their individual interests and skills. We do this through:


Consistent, ongoing collaboration


Participant directed programming

Building relationships over time


Listening to those directly affected


Responding to current needs

Meeting people where they are-culturally, personally, and geographically
