Agency - Bangor Area Homeless Shelter

It is the mission of the Bangor Area Homeless Shelter to provide emergency shelter and supportive services to the homeless and economically disadvantaged of the Greater Bangor area.

Description:
BAHS is a facility open 24/7 providing both overnight shelter as well as a Day Program. We serve both homeless adults and other, very low income members of our community. Our primary purpose is to offer a form of crisis stabilization and then develop a support system to enable people to move beyond crisis and homelessness. We are emphatically collaborative in our efforts.

History:
The Shelter opened Christmas Eve as a 10-bed, overnight only, volunteer managed facility. We have evolved to a 24/7 facility w/ 32 beds and a paid staff of 11, serving a population with a range of behavioral health issues as well as temporary problems connected with being homeless.
