Our programs offer emergency shelter, permanent housing, support services, hospitality and guidance to homeless individuals, youth and families.
Joseph’s House was born in 1982, in an effort to address the needs of Troy's increasing homeless community. Over 25 years later, the shelter has grown in size and services provided for the homeless community in Troy. The timeline below outlines key points in the shelter's history. In recent years Joseph's House has moved well beyond the stereotyped emergency shelter image of 'two hots and a cot' into the holistic provision of a continuum of housing and shelter services designed to meet a variety of individual needs with dignity and respect. They continue to increase their commitment–both fiscally and philosophically–to providing ongoing support services to former guests–services which help break the cycle of homelessness and provide people environments where positive life-shaping change feels safe, desirable and possible. http://www.josephshousetroy.org
