Best Answer

you need to incorpate as a non profit.

Find money, doners, grants ect. I get mine mainly from private people because i don't like asking the government, they have tons of rules and regulations. But if it's private money, you're more free more to run it your way.

Find a cheap house in the neighhood. I didn't care about code, because once I had people living there, it was hard to get rid of the shelter. Now I'm talking about a smaller shelter here. I top out at 12 homeless or so. It's in a house, some of them helped me fix it up.

"How to help the homeless with a shelter"I have been trying to find out how to start a homeless shelter and at this point I have decided to take a step on faith to get information need to be able to get started.

1) Find the requirements to open a shelter check with code and compliance on do's and don'ts.

2) Find funding- such as Grants and Donations fund raisers

3) Get property type required and locations.

4) Check with local clubs, churches, organization on assistance.

5) One thing I read was to take a local survey to see if there is a need for a shelter.
