Shelter Care Inc.

Shelter Care Inc.'s Safe Landing Youth Shelter division is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization registered in SAM.gov since May 2009, operating in Ohio with a focus on serving vulnerable youth populations. As a domestic shelter organization, the entity provides comprehensive residential and supportive services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth through federal grant funding from multiple sources. The organization maintains an active federal grant portfolio that demonstrates sustained commitment to addressing youth homelessness and family crisis intervention across Ohio communities.

Shelter Care Inc. has received substantial prime federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate multiple interconnected programs. Current prime grants include a $350,000 Basic Center Program award (CFDA 93.623) expiring September 29, 2028, which provides emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and health care referrals to youth under 18 in Summit County; two HUD Continuum of Care Program grants totaling $321,595 (CFDA 14.267) supporting permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services in Tallmadge; a Street Outreach Program grant from the Administration for Children and Families; and a Maternity Group Home Project award supporting pregnant and parenting youth ages 16-21 with 18 to 21 months of shelter, parenting education, and life skills training. The organization also receives substantial sub-grant funding through pass-through entities including the City of Akron, Ohio Department of Development, and Ohio Department of Youth Services for Emergency Solutions Grant programs, Positive Youth Development initiatives, and community delinquency prevention efforts. Services consistently include 24-hour emergency residential care at multiple Akron locations with capacity for hundreds of youth annually, crisis intervention, respite care for emotionally disturbed children, family reunification services, and comprehensive case management designed to prevent youth involvement in law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, and juvenile justice systems.
