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.
