Shepherd's House Ministries

What Shepherd's House Ministries does

Shepherd's House Ministries is a faith-based nonprofit organization headquartered in Bend, Oregon, that provides a continuum of homeless services, shelter, and recovery programs across Central Oregon. The organization operates five primary facilities: the Lighthouse Navigation Center in Bend (24/7 emergency shelter with 100 beds), the Redmond Center (24/7 low-barrier day shelter serving 50+ individuals nightly, expandable to 80, and the only facility in Central Oregon with walk-in family rooms), the Franklin Avenue Shelter (intermediate housing for families and medically vulnerable individuals), the Men's Center (faith-based residential recovery program for up to 30 men), and the Women and Children's Center (Abi's House, a faith-based recovery program expanding from 10 to 40 capacity). Mobile outreach is delivered through the Project SHARE van and Shower Truck, which travel across Central Oregon to provide food, clothing, hygiene supplies, and showers to unhoused individuals.

The organization's technology stack is minimal, with no proprietary platforms described; service delivery relies on physical facilities, mobile units, volunteer coordination via the Bloomerang platform, and basic web/digital presence. There are no AI, ML, or software product capabilities — operations are entirely human-services-based.

Shepherd's House Ministries is funded through individual donations (online, in-kind, stock, vehicle, and estate gifts), an annual Night of Hope fundraising gala, and institutional grants including a $3 million Federal Home Loan Bank award in 2026, plus support from United Way Central Oregon, Oregon Community Foundation, Oregon Food Bank, City of Bend, and other community partners. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The organization employs 33 staff and is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Ken Marshall. Recent leadership includes CEO Gina Stout (appointed 2026, succeeding Curt Floski). The primary customer segments served are unhoused individuals, people in addiction recovery, women and children experiencing homelessness or instability, and medically vulnerable adults — all receiving services free of charge through the donor-funded model.
