Rumford Group Homes, Inc. offers three emergency shelter programs in Oxford County to serve homeless individuals and families. Homelessness is not an easy problem to solve and the lack of affordable housing, reliable transportation, and the scarce job market in Oxford County are all contributing factors. The majority of the individuals and families who stay in our shelters face three major barriers: lack of sufficient income, lack of access to affordable housing, and family and personal struggles such as a mental health diagnosis, illness or job loss.
Mission
The mission of our shelter programs is to provide a safe haven for homeless individuals and families while allowing them the dignity and respect they deserve. We aim to restore hope and give them assurance that someone cares. We do this by providing a safe and warm place to sleep at night and offering supportive services to help people move to self-sufficiency and stability.
