Emergency Shelter
A Safe Place to Start Again
Tedford Housing’s emergency shelter provides adults and families in our community with a safe, welcoming place to stabilize, access support, and take steps toward permanent housing. Whether you’re seeking help or hoping to support your neighbors, Tedford is here as a part of the midcoast safety net.
Our New Home
In December 2025, Tedford Housing moved into its newly constructed emergency shelter at 65 Thomas Point Road—a fully accessible building designed around safety, privacy, and the power of stability. The facility combines our former adult and family shelters into one comprehensive space, with two distinct, secure wings:
Adult Wing: A 24-bed environment staffed 24/7, offering safety, warmth, and consistent support for individuals experiencing homelessness.
For questions or to check bed availability, call 207-729-1161, ext. 104.Family Wing: Ten private units for families with children, each designed to offer comfort and a sense of home during a difficult time.
To inquire or place your family on our waitlist, call 207-729-1161, ext. 113.
Both wings provide a calm, structured environment where guests can meet basic needs, work with case managers, and develop personalized housing stability plans.

Stronger Services, Together
At the back corner of the building is our new administrative hub, which brings our teams together in one shared location. This setup streamlines the services we offer and makes it easier for staff to communicate, coordinate, and problem-solve in real time. With case management, shelter support staff, and administrative staff all under one roof, we’re better equipped for cross-department brainstorming and quicker responses to guest needs.
A Location That Connects
Our new shelter is located in Brunswick’s Cook’s Corner neighborhood, offering easy access to healthcare, employment opportunities, public transportation, and other essential community resources. The setting strengthens our partnerships with local agencies and helps guests connect quickly to the services that support long-term stability.
Our Mission in Action
Our shelter is more than a building—it’s a community hub where adults and families find safety, dignity, and opportunity. With space for 24 adults and 10 families, and a trauma-informed environment, we are building a stronger safety net for our midcoast neighbors.
