Mission Statement...The mission of Hebron House of Hospitality, Inc. is to provide
emergency housing and related services to people in transition with the
basic needs of shelter, food and personal support.
Hebron House of Hospitality, Inc. incorporated in
July 1982 as a non-profit corporation established to provide housing
support services to residents of Waukesha
County who are
experiencing a housing crisis. The agency mission of Hebron House of
Hospitality is to provide emergency food, shelter, clothing, and support
services to people experiencing homelessness and housing emergencies; to
work towards finding a solution to end homelessness and to interrupt the
cycle of homelessness and poverty whenever possible.
The Hebron House Shelter opened it’s doors on August 1, 1983. At that time Hebron House was the only
source of emergency shelter in Waukesha County providing
services to people experiencing homelessness who were not necessarily
victims of domestic violence. Hebron House of Hospitality served families,
single men and single women. In 1986 when the Salvation Army opened a
Lodge for single men, Hebron House focused on families and single women as
its target population for emergency shelter.
