Burlington Area Homeless Shelter

Mission: To provide shelter and support to those who have become in need of temporary housing in Burlington and the surrounding area while maintaining the dignity and respect of these persons

The Burlington Area Homeless Shelter is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization. We are supported by local donations and our local United Way. The Shelter has five bedrooms, with a total capacity of 10 people. Currently our largest bedroom has three beds. We have the ability to open up a door between two of the rooms so if capacity allows we could house a family of up to five persons. Each family unit has their own bedroom with the ability to lock their bedroom door. Below are a few pictures.

We provide short term shelter to Iowa residents. Along with providing basic food and shelter, the staff at BAHS works hand in hand with other community organizations to assist those in need in building self-esteem to establish themselves as self-supporting, successful members of the community.
