Monadnock Area Transitional Shelter (MATS)

Monadnock Area Transitional Shelter - A Home for People in Transition

Now in our 34th year of service to those experiencing homelessness in the Monadnock
region, MATS continues to help those seeking shelter during difficult times.
MATS provides participants with assistance and countless resources regarding
employment, affordable housing applications, education, budgeting,
transportation, healthcare, childcare, and legal services during their stay.

Rural Homelessness:

Living in a rural area such as the Monadnock region, people who are experiencing homelessness
frequently go unnoticed. The hidden homeless, as they’re sometimes called,
don’t live on the streets as in urban areas; instead, they live with friends or
family, move from place to place, or sleep in cars, tents, or the woods, out of
sight.

How you can help:

Donations to the shelter have made our work possible since 1991, and they will continue to
sustain our efforts on behalf of those who need shelter in the greater
Monadnock region. As a private, non-profit organization, MATS relies solely on
private donations from individuals, businesses, churches, or organizations; we
also apply for and receive grants each year. We do not receive any state or
federal funding.

Our Mission:

At MATS, our mission is to empower individuals experiencing homelessness by providing safe housing, compassionate support, and vital referral services. We are dedicated to raising community awareness about the realities of homelessness and advocating for lasting solutions that foster dignity, stability, and hope.

MATS is a registered, private non-profit 501(c)(3). Our funding comes entirely from
donations from area churches, businesses, service organizations, grants and
private citizens like you.

Please help
us reach our goal of $23,000.
