Our Story
Meeting our neighbours where they are.
REFUGE Kings County Inc. was founded to address the needs of our unhoused neighbours — beginning with a mobile warming/resource solution and working toward housing solutions.
Mission
To restore dignity through shelter, safety, and a clear path home.
We believe every person deserves a safe place to rest, the security of community, and the support needed to take the next step. That belief is why we exist — and why we partner with service providers across Sussex to deliver care that meets people where they are.
Our ultimate goal is to move neighbours from a warm solution tonight, into transitional housing and ultimately to a home of their own — leveraging every resource our region has to offer.
What We Stand For
Dignity First
Every interaction begins with respect. Our neighbours are not problems to be solved — they are people to be supported.
Community Rooted
We work with — not around — the service providers, churches, businesses, and volunteers who already make Sussex a place worth coming home to.
Built to Last
Emergency shelter is a start, not the goal. We invest in structures, systems, and relationships that lead to housing solutions.
