Imagine you’ve lost your job, been evicted from your home, and you have no friends or family you can stay with.

You just need a hand up not a handout.

Carlsbad Transitional Housing and Homeless Shelter is that helping hand.

Carlsbad Transitional Housing and Homeless Shelter (CTHHS) is a faith-based, community-oriented organization providing safe, secure, and sanitary housing for families and individuals experiencing economic, personal and/or family hardship.  We were incorporated as a 501(c) (3) non-profit in 1999 and represent a coalition of Carlsbad churches; we are also a partner agency with United Way of Eddy County.

Our mission statement is to provide safe and secure housing for those experiencing economic hardship, to transform the lives of participants and their families to become more effective parents and to become financially responsible and independent contributing members of our society.

Safe and secure housing is a very basic need and one that is essential for individuals if they are going to thrive in our society.  CTHHS serves a population that is struggling for their basic needs to be met.  Housing, regardless of the quality, is extraordinarily difficult for many in our area to secure.  This situation has been compounded exponentially in recent years as the oil industry has moved into the region.  By offering two forms of housing to our community, we are providing a much-needed service and are empowering these individuals to move forward with their lives in a more positive and powerful way.
