What we do
Bay Area Homeless Services believes that all clients deserve the opportunity to achieve goals and reach personal responsibility milestones. Our staff members are trained to be professional, courteous and efficient. Below are the variety of services we provide.
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. Our staff members are available to take your phone calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, we accept new clients only from 9AM until 4PM.
Emergency Shelter Services
BAHS provides emergency homeless shelter services for low-income clients in the East Harris County, Baytown, Liberty County and Chambers County area. We have separate men’s and women’s dormitories for the safety and privacy of our residents. BAHS provides three meals daily. Our caring professional case management staff provides an individual case management plan for every client shortly upon entry. We strongly encourage our clients to seek employment. Therefore we also provide transportation to employment interviews, perform resume critiques, and provide basic on-the-job readiness training. Clients take personal responsibility for their individual growth by actively participating in training activities, and completing routine household chores.
Employment Services
Bay Area Homeless Services provides pre-employment, post employment, job readiness, employment maintenance, casework, and classes for current and former clients. We have “real-world” volunteers who donate their time to do mock interviews, present life-skills classes and assist with post-employment career counseling. BAHS caseworkers provide a job board, and work with local employers to develop several job fairs annually. These services are available upon request to former, as well as current, 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.
Bay Area Homeless Services can provide a speaker for any organization that wishes to learn more about homelessness, our services, our programs, and our needs.
If you would like to schedule a speaker from BAHS, please contact Bill Eckert, at 281-420-6728 or visit our Contact Page to consider a presentation for your group.
