Hospitality House receives homeless or inadequately housed clients who stop by our office in Georgetown or through referrals from other agencies and by word of mouth. We assess their needs and, if they meet our criteria, provide transitional or emergency shelter. We’re able to place families in local motels for one or more nights on an emergency basis.  And for families in transition, we cover rent and utilities for three months in one of a very few apartments to which we have access in town. During that time, we provide direct services like case management and financial counseling, as well as referrals to additional support services to give clients the best chance for stabilizing their lives and finding permanent housing.

Need help for yourself or your family?

We ask clients to fill out some paperwork that lets us understand their situation better and determine their eligibility for our services.  Often, our clients are individuals and families who don’t meet the criteria for state housing assistance, and are therefore falling through the cracks.

We believe everyone deserves a stable home – not a car, a camper, or a relative’s couch.  And families, especially, deserve that stability closer to home – not in a shelter the next county over – so that children can remain in the schools where they have enrolled. However, if we don’t have the funds or the space available, we  try to accommodate clients by referring them to shelters in Lexington, for instance, through the Salvation Army.

We plan to purchase an apartment building in the near future so that we can house transitional clients together in one safe, nurturing community.  If you would like to help us with this effort, we’d love to hear from you!  Please contact our office, and ask to speak with Director Stacey Cruse.
