Before Welcome One Emergency Shelter was established, Harford County churches volunteered to shelter our adult homeless neighbors for a week during the winter. Today, Welcome One is Harford County’s year-round emergency shelter and yet there is still a need for additional emergency shelter in the winter months. In response to the continuing need, the Harford County Hope for the Homeless Alliance (HHA) was organized in 2015 with the help of the then County Councilman Curtis Beulah as a coalition of Harford County government, businesses, nonprofit agencies and faith-based groups to re-implement the Emergency Rotating Shelter.
