Since 1987 Loreto House has been a safe haven for homeless men. In August of 1999 the building that housed this program on Elm Street was burned down by a massive fire. After an exhaustive search for a new facility, and extensive renovations, the program was finally relocated to 51 Hamilton Street in March of 2001.
On average, the program houses from 75-120 men each year. The program is designed to not only offered basic food and shelter for up to 18 men, but also access to medical care, various support services dealing with addictions, housing & employment search, life/survival skills, job preparation assistance, and other educational opportunities.
This around the clock program is partially funded by grants from HUD (Housing & Urban Development), CDBG (Community Development Block Grant), and most recently ESG (Emergency Shelter Grant) monies.
The Loreto House is named after Sr. Mary Loreto, SP.
