Vision Statement
It is the vision of the BAHS to be a leading partner in insuring that no person in the greater Bangor area ever has to spend a night on the streets or in the woods because he or she cannot find or cannot afford safe housing. We believe in the principle that safe, affordable housing is a fundamental human right and our primary aim is to offer a stabilizing base and support for homeless men and women as they transition back into the community. We believe that services offered should actively involve those in need of assistance, be of high quality and be delivered with dignity and respect. Our concern is for both emergency care and the development of affordable housing for all.
We serve homeless adults and 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 empower people to move beyond their current crisis and homelessness. We are emphatically collaborative in our efforts.
The Shelter provides emergency, short-term shelter to homeless people aged 18 and above within the limits of our resources and our mission, and consistent with our funding and financial sources. Every effort is made to provide a safe and secure environment in an atmosphere of mutual respect. It is expected that all guests of the Shelter do their best to behave in ways that are respectful of themselves, all others at the shelter, and the Greater Bangor Community. The policies are designed to ensure the safety and well-being of all who use the Shelter.
