ABOUT HCHHA
ABOUT HCHHA
Before the Welcome One Emergency Shelter was established, Harford County churches volunteered to shelter adult homeless neighbors for a week during the winter. Today, Welcome One serves as Harford County’s year-round emergency shelter, yet there remains a need for additional emergency shelter during the winter months. To address this ongoing need, the Harford County Hope for the Homeless Alliance (HCHHA) was organized in 2015 with the support of then-County Councilman Curtis Beulah. The HCHHA was established as a coalition of Harford County government, businesses, nonprofit agencies, and faith-based groups to re-implement the Emergency Rotating Shelter.

SUMMARY REPORT FROM 2024
SUMMARY REPORT FROM 2024
By the numbers: 8 families and 31 individual adults were lodged and provided personal assistance over the winter of 2023-24. That’s 51 people out of the winter weather! Even more significant, we were able to help place 7 family units and 7 individuals into permanent or transitional housing.
A report on last winter’s HCHHA emergency homeless shelters has been posted on our website. Visit our About page for more information about the Alliance, including details on host churches and key partners. Please message us as soon as possible if you would like to participate in the upcoming emergency winter shelters.
BUT DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Over the past winter, 19 people — including 12 children — were sheltered in motels, and another 65 adults were sheltered in churches. That’s 84 people kept safe from the winter weather! Even more significantly, we helped place 16 adults into housing. It certainly made a difference for each one of them!
Thank you for your generosity. Please know that lives are being impacted and blessed by the work we do together.
