Shalom House, Inc.

Shalom House, Inc. At Shalom House we believe that when people have the appropriate support they can get better and lead fulfilling lives in the community.

Shalom House offers hope for adults living with severe mental illness by providing an array of community based mental health services and a choice of quality housing that help people lead stable and fulfilling lives in the community. Our model for success is grounded on the following four bases:

Housing-

Shalom House provides a choice of affordable, decent housing ranging from transitional housing and group homes to independent apartments. Individualized Services-

Shalom House offers a variety of services to help our clients gain the skills and confidence they need to achieve their own goals and to successfully reintegrate into the community. These services include community integration, skills support, peer support and many others. Inclusive Atmosphere-

We believe that mental illness is best managed when consumers and providers of mental health services work together. We don't make decisions for our clients, we help them learn how to make their own choices and provide them with ongoing support to ensure success. Fighting the Stigma-

Shalom House works in the community to reduce the fear and stigma associated with mental illness so that those who suffer from mental illness may flourish in the mainstream of community life.

After 17 years of leadership, our Executive Director, Mary Haynes-Rodgers, will be retiring in September.

Mary joined Shalom House in December 2008, stepping into the role with great appreciation of the work Shalom was doing in the community. Over the years, she has guided Shalom through many seasons, moments of growth and change, remaining steadfast in her belief in our mission and in the people we serve.

Mary’s leadership has been defined by her commitment to offer hope to those living with severe mental illness. She has worked closely with staff, our board, and the community, to ensure that this mission remained at the center of every decision, even during the most challenging times.

While we will miss Mary’s daily presence, we celebrate her well-earned retirement and thank her for 17 years of extraordinary service. Shalom House will forever be shaped by her leadership, and we wish her joy and fulfillment in this next chapter.

As we look ahead, we are beginning the search for our next Executive Director. Those interested in learning more can view the position here:https://starboardleadership.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SH-Leadership-Statement_ED_FINAL.pdf

Love isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action.

Back in November, Sabrina, a student, reached out to Shalom in hopes of collecting donations to benefit our clients. She worked with her local supports and Verbena in South Portland to collect items. Before the holiday, she dropped off toothbrushes and toothpaste, soap, other hygiene products, and paper towels. This is community. Thank you so much, Sabrina!💚
