Shenandoah Alliance for Shelter was created as a result of several meetings in 1989 attended by about 25 to 30 representatives of the community including concerned citizens, ministers, DSS caseworkers, Salvation Army, Sheriff's Department, church outreach groups, Habitat for Humanity, and Blue Ridge Legal Services. The concern was that there was no mechanism in this County to assist homeless families while keeping the family together as a unit.
Since January 1990, hundreds of families have been served by the Prevention Program. The Transitional Housing Program has also served many County residents, providing thousands of nights of shelter since its inception.
