About Us
New River Family Shelter (NRFS) offers compassionate support to families in a housing crisis and provides emergency shelter for those, with children, who are the most vulnerable.
Our mission is to make homelessness in our community rare, brief, and one time
History
Since 1989, NRFS has provided information and referrals to anyone experiencing a housing crisis and emergency shelter to those without a housing option. Using a scattered site model, an entire family is able to stay together in a private space and is provided guidance and connections to resources to assist with achieving and maintaining housing stability.
Community
We partner with the local community, including volunteers, local government and churches, to remove the stigma of homelessness and ultimately end long-term family homelessness in our community.
Family
Our approach is one of respect, compassion and a focus on family to serve both our guests and the community.
