The primary focus of the Dayton District Council is to assist the homeless and impoverished. With respect and compassion, motivated by Gospel values, we empower men, women and families to build a foundation for a secure future including permanent housing.
Our work begins with the 36 Conferences throughout the Miami Valley who focus on assisting those in poverty in their local communities. Their work is critical in helping to keep families and individuals from becoming part of the homeless community. They are assisted in their work by our Community Store which fulfills vouchers issued by the Conferences for furniture, clothing and other household goods. We also operate a Community Food Pantry which distributes food to the poor. The St. Vincent de Paul Deconstruction Depot features a diverse inventory of vintage, used building materials for architects, contractors and homeowners alike at bargain prices.
For those who become homeless, our first point of assistance is the St. Vincent de Paul Hotel Gateway Shelter, a 220-bed overnight shelter with food and a shower. Many only need temporary assistance during a short-term crisis. But for those whose homelessness is chronic, we offer several programs designed to help them achieve housing stability. St. Vincent de Paul Transitional Housing currently assists single women and families with children by providing transitional housing and a comprehensive case management program to help them reach their goal of permanent housing. The St. Vincent de Paul Center provides a similar program for men at their 39-unit housing and education facility. St. Vincent de Paul Kettering Commons provides permanent supportive housing to 14 families with special needs who came directly from the emergency shelter system. And, for those with mental illness, we work in partnership with the YWCA Dayton on the Safe Haven program.
We also invite you to view our video in which our staff members, volunteers and clients share how St. Vincent de Paul serves those in need with assistance, shelter and hope.
