Homeless Services of Aroostook (HSA) is a nonprofit organization that has served individuals and families experiencing homelessness throughout Aroostook County since 1984. Founded by Sister Mary O''Donnell, HSA is the only general homeless shelter serving Maine''s largest and most rural county. The agency operates 57 year-round shelter beds through its emergency shelter and Aroostook Bridge programs, with an additional 15 seasonal beds available during the winter Warming Shelter program to ensure no one is left without a safe place during extreme weather. HSA provides essential basic needs, including safe shelter, meals, showers, laundry facilities, case management, housing navigation, and connections to community resources that help individuals and families achieve long-term housing stability. As a nonprofit organization, HSA relies heavily on community support through volunteers, individual donors, businesses, foundations, and grant funding. An AmeriCorps VISTA member would play a critical role in strengthening the organization''s long-term sustainability by expanding and managing HSA''s volunteer program, building community partnerships, researching grant opportunities, and assisting with grant writing to secure additional funding for programs and operations. Mission: Homeless Services of Aroostook strives to provide compassionate support, safe shelter, and essential resources to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. We are committed to empowering lives through housing, advocacy, and pathways to self-sufficiency, fostering dignity and hope for a brighter future.
