HELP US SUPPORT THOSE IN NEED
The Apollo Homelessness Collaborative (AHC) supports organizations that serve people who are experiencing homelessness.
We Have the Power to Make an Impact, and We’re Doing Something About It
AHC was formed in honor of James Henry McShea (Jim), a talented musician and artist, witty and engaging friend, and treasured family member who has been homeless in Baltimore since 2012.

Apollo is the god of homeless people, healing, music and art.
Homelessness is our primary focus, with a particular emphasis on homelessness caused by or coupled with mental health issues.
Collaborative refers to our mode of operating, working closely with communities as well as other organizations aiding the homeless population.
