WELCOME HOUSE INC

Welcome House, Inc. is the only family shelter in Bismarck and Mandan, North Dakota. Since 2005, we have provided transitional housing, case management, and critical resources to families with children experiencing homelessness.

At any time, we serve up to six families, offering private rooms, shared living spaces, food, hygiene products, and a structured program called Pathway to Stability — a 12-week roadmap that empowers families to rebuild independence, secure permanent housing, and break the cycle of homelessness.

Core Programs:
Transitional Housing for families in crisis
Financial Literacy & Job Readiness (credit counseling, resume help, budgeting)
Family Reunification Support for families working to regain custody
Veteran Family Services (connecting veterans with HUD-VASH, SSVF, and VA resources)
Food & Nutrition Access through our Great Plains Food Bank partnership
Community Advocacy to help families navigate housing, healthcare, and transportation

Why Support Us?
At Welcome House, children are at the heart of our mission. One mother shared, “If it was not for the Welcome House, I would not be able to provide my daughter any consistency in life right now.” Families describe Welcome House as a safe, joyful space where they can regroup, recover, and move forward.

With your support, we help families rediscover hope and achieve lasting stability.
