Genesis House of Olean operates two shelters for the homeless in our community. Genesis House takes all referrals from the Cattaraugus County Department of Social Services on a space-available basis. Once they arrive at the Genesis House, a case manager meets with the person or family for an intake.

Genesis House plans a variety of fundraisers and homelessness awareness events in the community, including our raffles, flower sale, and luminarias.

In 2009, we opened the men’s shelter, which could house three men and a manager. In 2023, New York State required Genesis House to change the way we served our community members and become certified. Families are now served in individual apartments.
