The Shelter Trust
The Shelter's website is on the following link; www.shelter.org.je/
The Shelter Trust was formed to provide services for homeless people in Jersey. The trust is a charity offering shelter, support and a way forward for homeless people. At present they offer accommodation from four sites around St Helier and St Saviour. They also provide an outreach service, offering food, hot drinks and support for ‘rough sleepers’. The outreach service is provided in partnership with Jersey Homeless Outreach Group (JHOG). At the other end of the spectrum of homelessness, they also provide an aftercare and resettlement service for those of residents and clients who have moved on to independent living. An additional facility, the Drunk and Incapable Unit, provides a place of safety for up to four people as an alternative to the penal system.
