Shelter Support

At Livingwaters Healthcare, we recognize the vital role shelters play in supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our communities — individuals and families experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or navigating mental health and substance use challenges.

We are proud to partner with shelters across the region to provide 24/7/365 staffing solutions that ensure safety, stability, and compassionate care for residents in crisis. Whether you need emergency coverage, long-term placements, or specialized support staff, we’re ready to help — at any time, on any day.
