shelter homes
Emergency housing facilities
Shelter homes are residential facilities providing temporary housing and support services for people in crisis—typically victims of domestic violence, homeless families, or displaced youth.
They offer safety and basic needs while residents transition to permanent housing.
The term emphasizes the protective, temporary nature of the accommodation: The city opened new shelter homes for families fleeing abuse.
