WATTS’s mission is to break the cycle of homelessness one life at a time. We empower individuals to re-enter the workforce and connect individuals to the resources needed to be as self-sufficient as possible while providing a safe, temporary shelter during extreme weather.
In 2009, a group of faith-based leaders came together when they recognized there was a population of homeless adults in our area who did not qualify for admission to other local shelter programs due to barriers. Realizing these folks would be sleeping outside during the coldest weeks of winter and seeing a solution with their warm church buildings which were empty at night, WATTS was born as the area’s low-barrier shelter. Since that time, WATTS has grown and expanded to meet the needs of homeless individuals in Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke County. Today, we provide 21 weeks of overnight shelter from November to March, along with a daytime Warming Center in the winter, and a daytime Cooling Center in the summer. We’ve also added our Transition Out of Homelessness Program, with staff members who work year-round to assist guests in ending their homelessness.
WATTS is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, federal tax ID number 27-1325266. All donations are tax deductible.
