Shepherd's Cove Homeless Shelter for Women and Children, located in Prince George's County, serves approximately 600 to 700 families each year. As of July 2024, the emergency shelter expanded its services to include intact families, now welcoming men with their families in addition to single women and children. Our goal is to provide comprehensive supportive services that promote stability, self-sufficiency, and long-term housing success for single women and families in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Since 2004, UCAP has managed Shepherd's Cove in partnership with the Prince George's County Department of Social Services. Our 110–bed emergency facility is operated and monitored 24/365 by caring professionals. Our case management staff utilizes the Continuum of Care Model to effectively coordinate and link clients to community-based resources and supportive services. We provide a clean and safe environment with the ultimate goal of empowering residents to secure and maintain permanent housing independently through housing counseling, stabilization planning, and community resource navigation and support.
