The S4 Program:
Shelter, Stability, Support, and a path to Success

Our innovative S4 Program is designed to guide local families, single men and women, and seniors step-by-step from homelessness to self-sufficiency.  This long term, comprehensive program combines safe shelter, rigorous case management, connection to critical services and resources, and life skills training.

Guests who need additional support may move from the shelters into our Transitional Housing Program, where they have additional time, resources, and support to gradually build lasting independence.

This life-changing program is made possible by generous support from local donors, foundations,  businesses, and faith communities, and a corps of hundreds of dedicated volunteers.

Your Support Is Transformative!

Talbot Interfaith Shelter has grown from humble beginnings.

Talbot Interfaith Shelter was formed in 2008 by a group of concerned members of Talbot County faith communities. 

We operated as a “homeless” homeless shelter for five years, rotating between faith communities during the cold weather months and serving 5 individuals at a time.

In 2014, we received a permit to operate a year-round shelter facility at a former bed and breakfast called Easton’s Promise.  We have since developed our S4 Program (Shelter, Stability, Support, Success), which includes case management, educational programming, and subsidized transitional housing.  In 2022, we opened our second shelter, which now serves single men and women.

All of this has been made possible by YOUR generosity of money, time, fellowship, and compassion!
