How Our Services Work
Call to talk with a team member
Start accessing solutions and resources. We will assess your needs and connect you with TCBC programs and partners who can help with housing, basic needs, and health and human services.
Get emergency resolution for a pending eviction
TCBC can make a third-party payment to a landlord to cover rent arrearages and stop the eviction process.
Get utility assistance and emergency help with shut-off notices
Through the Duquesne Light CAP and Dollar Energy programs administered by our partners at the Holy Family Institute (located at our Beaver Falls office).
Get emergency food assistance
Through the SNAP Program administered by our partners at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (located at our Beaver Falls office).
Get immediate placement into emergency or permanent housing
Depending on your needs and housing availability. TCBC maintains a network of local housing resources and a partnership with the Housing Authority of Beaver County to help provide permanent housing options.
For emergency situations when permanent housing options are not readily available, TCBC operates a 24-hour 20-bed Men’s Emergency Shelter and maintains two, 2-bedroom apartments for short-term living. Permanent housing is then typically secured within 2-6 weeks.
Permanent supportive/transitional housing options are available through the coordinated entry process.
Get additional human services
Such as job and educational assistance, clothing and household essentials, through our partners at The Franklin Center (located at our Beaver Falls office).

Beaver County Men’s Shelter
We opened the doors of Beaver County’s first and only 24-hour men’s emergency shelter in June 2023 to fill a critical gap in our county’s homelessness solutions. Our fully-staffed, 24-hour men’s shelter is intentionally designed to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment as well as wrap-around services to help ensure that guests are able to successfully transition to permanent housing, independence, and ultimately, a future of hope and possibilities.
The shelter was a natural progression in TCBC’s work to prevent and end homelessness in Beaver County since 2016.
