Family Service Association of Bucks County (FSA) has been a trusted resource for individuals and families in Chalfont and across Bucks County for decades.

Homeless Services in Chalfont

The Bucks County Emergency Homeless Shelter, operated by FSA, is a lifeline for individuals and families who have lost safe and stable housing. This 24/7 shelter serves as a temporary residence for approximately 75 people at any given time, including a number of children. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s a starting place to begin rebuilding your life.

Through generous contributions and the tireless efforts of volunteers, we provide residents with essential resources, including:

• A safe and stable living environment.
• Access to supportive case management services.
• Connection to housing programs such as the Housing First Blended Case Management initiative.

The Housing Link Helpline serves as a centralized point of contact for those experiencing a housing-related crisis in Bucks County. From intake to referrals, our team works tirelessly to connect individuals with the services they need to secure permanent housing.
