History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 624221-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the Homeless Shelters industry dates back to the 19th century when the first homeless shelters were established in the United Kingdom. The Salvation Army, founded in 1865, was one of the first organizations to provide shelter to the homeless. In the United States, the first homeless shelter was established in New York City in the late 19th century. The Bowery Mission, founded in 1879, provided shelter and food to homeless men. In the 20th century, the industry saw significant growth due to the Great Depression and World War II. The 1980s saw a rise in homelessness in the United States, leading to the establishment of more homeless shelters across the country. In recent history, the Homeless Shelters industry in the United States has faced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has led to an increase in homelessness, with many people losing their jobs and struggling to pay rent. Homeless shelters have had to adapt to new safety protocols to prevent the spread of the virus. Many shelters have had to reduce their capacity to comply with social distancing guidelines, leading to a shortage of available beds. Despite these challenges, the industry has continued to provide essential services to those in need.
