For Our New Facilities

High Quality Personalized Services

At Bay Area Homeless Services, Inc., we take care to provide our clients high quality services personalized for their unique needs.

Employment Services

Bay Area Homeless Services provides pre-employment, post employment, job readiness, employment maintenance, casework, and classes for current and former clients.

Speaker Services

Homelessness is a subject that touches everyone in our service area communities. Prevention of homelessness, likewise, is an important topic because of the economic impact that homelessness has on each member of society, both in a direct, and indirect manner.

Your Continuing Assistance is Needed!

For more than 40 years, Bay Area Homeless Services has provided hope, shelter, and a pathway to self-sufficiency for homeless men, women, children, and families in our community. Today, we stand on the threshold of an exciting new chapter.

Construction of our new Men's Shelter, Commons Building, and Administrative-Training Center is nearing completion, bringing us closer to expanding services and creating a safer, more effective environment for those working to rebuild their lives.

While the buildings themselves are racing toward completion, we still need the furnishings, equipment, technology, and operational items necessary to place these facilities into full service and maximize their impact on the individuals, families, employers, and community who depend on us.

We invite you to help us complete this important project. A financial contribution of any size, or a donation of needed items, will directly support the final phase of equipping these new facilities for daily use. Every desk, chair, computer, appliance, bed, and program resource helps transform a building into a place of refuge, opportunity, and renewed hope.

“Together, we can ensure that every room is furnished, every workstation and work space is operational, and every resident has access to the resources needed to move from homelessness to self-sufficiency.”
Many thanks,
Bill Eckert
Executive Director

A financial contribution of any size helps us cross the finish line.

BAHS Adds to Staff with Roving Intern
BAHS is pleased to add Bear E. Rover to our marketing staff as an unpaid intern. Recently relocated to the Baytown area, Bear E. will initially concentrate on strengthening his marketing skills by observing operations at the BAHS shelter buildings, and visiting the offices of our corporate donors and sponsors. Here, he is posing for his official ID card after finishing his computer skills test (which he bear-ly passed). If you see our intern at a local business, please drop us a line at edbahs@gmail.com. You never know where he will turn up, and seeing him could be an enriching experience.
