At the Tioga County Homeless Initiative, we believe that every individual deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to rebuild. We are proud to welcome all who are experiencing homelessness, regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability. Discrimination of any kind is never tolerated, as we place immense value on the unique experiences and insights that each person brings to our community.
Each guest who enters our doors is provided with more than just a place to stay. They receive a clean, safe bed, a warm and welcoming environment, and a hearty evening meal. At the heart of our mission is a deep commitment to compassion and inclusion. We are here to offer support, encouragement, and hope because everyone deserves to be seen, respected, and given the chance to thrive.
The purpose of the Tioga County Homeless Initiative is to:
PROVIDE A WARM, SAFE, AND CARING ENVIRONMENT
for individuals and families who experience homelessness.
The Tioga County Homeless Initiative (TCHI) is a faith-based nonprofit organization in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, that began its work in 2011 and was officially registered in 2012. It provides emergency shelter and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Tioga County. With help from local churches, volunteers, and community partners, TCHI offers a safe place to stay, meals, and assistance with housing, employment, and healthcare. In 2024, they opened a new fully accessible facility to better serve those in need and continue their mission of offering compassion, stability, and hope.
A warm, safe, and caring environment is next!
