Supporting Lancaster County’s Homeless Community
For over 40 years, the Lancaster County Homelessness Coalition has been dedicated to supporting the county’s most vulnerable residents. In recent years, the need for homeless services in Lancaster County has grown dramatically, as shown in the annual Point-in-Time Count. Today, we face a housing and homelessness crisis—and urgent action is required. The Clay Street Emergency Shelter provides one of the most critical resources for our community: a safe, dry place to sleep. This low-barrier emergency shelter in Lancaster offers 80 year-round beds for adults experiencing homelessness. Beyond shelter, residents work with trained case managers to connect with community resources, address barriers, and take steps toward achieving permanent housing. Our mission is to maintain and expand access to a permanent emergency shelter in Lancaster County—ensuring safety, stability, and hope for those experiencing homelessness.

Who among us wants to be remembered by our darkest moments? We seek to build a space where our unhoused neighbors are respected and feel valued, where they can seek connections with housing and resources in a dignified way, expanding their sense of self-worth and value.
Your support will help us convert an underused space into a vital resource. By supporting this campaign, you’ll enable us to meet a critical need, providing a safe place for those facing hardship. Let’s rally to address this immediate need and foster a community where everyone has access to the help they deserve.
