What Homeless Solutions does

Homeless Solutions, Inc. (HSI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1983 (originally as Morris Shelter, Inc.) that operates the largest continuum of homeless prevention services in Morris County, New Jersey, serving 92% of the county's homeless and housing-insecure population annually. The organization delivers an integrated service stack spanning emergency shelter (Main Shelter with 45+ beds and a seasonal Winter Warming Center), transitional housing (10 furnished 2-bedroom apartments serving up to 60 people for up to 18 months), permanent supportive housing (Mt. Kemble Home for 22 senior women, Women's Campus for up to 32 women), and 126 owned and managed affordable apartments across the county.

In June and July 2025 HSI expanded its program mix with two significant launches: the Recovery Shelter Program (15 dedicated beds for adults recovering from substance use disorders across eight Northern NJ counties, with DMHAS-funded permanent housing subsidies) and the Housing Supports Program (a Medicaid-reimbursable case management and navigation service for NJ FamilyCare members under a Federal 1115 waiver). Programs are supported by intensive case management, life-skills curriculum, career and financial coaching, childcare, meals (47,469 served in 2025), and a housing retention program offering up to two years of post-exit support. Reported outcomes include a 100% permanent-housing placement rate for THP exits and 100% retention among Family Support Housing participants in 2025.

The organization is funded through diversified nonprofit revenue streams: individual donations (including the High Five monthly giving program and the Leadership Giving Circle at $1,000+ annually), corporate sponsorships and grants (notably the $25,000 Family Angel Network), planned giving and a $1,000,000 quasi-endowment established July 2025, special events, affordable rental income, and Medicaid reimbursements. HSI employs 65 staff plus over 600 annual community volunteers, is governed by a Board of Trustees and Corporate Advisory Council, and holds Candid Platinum and Charity Navigator 4-Star credibility ratings. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; operations rely on standard nonprofit service-delivery and case-management infrastructure.
