Mission Statement
Shelters to Shutters is a national 501(c)3 organization that transitions individuals and families out of homelessness to economic self-sufficiency by providing full time employment, housing, and career training opportunities in partnership with the real estate industry.
At S2S, we pre-screen and vet candidates who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. We match participants with the skills and experience to be successful in property management with our nationwide apartment industry partners, who provide entry-level employment and discounted on-site housing. Our model certainly works–93 percent of S2S participants never re-enter homeless services again.
The S2S model is beneficial for all: Our participants become economically independent and experience an improved quality of life. Our partners have access to a pipeline of motivated employees excited for a career in the apartment industry. Our communities improve in overall health and well-being.
