Located in Pownal, VT, the 966 Main Street Shelter, operated by the Bennington County Coalition for the Homeless, is dedicated to providing emergency shelter for individuals and families facing homelessness. Our welcoming environment ensures that those in need receive vital short-term overnight shelter and essential drop-in services, such as case management, clothing, food assistance, bedding, personal care items, and access to bathrooms and showers. With a rolling admissions approach, once admitted, you can secure your bed each night while working toward stable housing with the guidance of our supportive housing case manager. We believe in empowering our guests to develop a personalized plan towards self-sufficiency and are here to help every step of the way. To receive the best care, we encourage you to reach out in advance for shelter or drop-in services.
