Dave Fair, Ph.D.

Dave Fair founded Shelter Care in the fall of 1972, but those who knew and loved him would tell you his heart was in this agency well before it was established. Dave’s journey to Shelter Care began with the Chapel at Fir Hill and Summit County Juvenile Court; both of which he was employed under for many years prior to Shelter Care’s doors opening. As a near and dear friend of the Juvenile Court Judge, William P. Kannel, the pair began to notice a significant increase in the number of children who were being brought to the court’s attention for non-delinquent charges; particularly, running away from home due to severe family conflict, neglect, and abuse. It was then that Judge Kannel knew he could rely on Dave to help start an alternative program for these youth, who were struggling within their homes and deserving so much more than what the system was currently doing for them. With the support of the Chapel at Fir Hill, Dave secured a home in Akron that would operate as the first Shelter Care home. This was the inception of the Shelter Home Program.
In 1978, the Junior League was operating a shelter for runaway teens, but thought that Dave would be able to provide services to a greater number of youth if the program merged with Shelter Care, being that licensure for residential care of youth had already been secured within the Shelter Home Program. With the help of a Shelter Care Board Member, Sandra Dawson, Dave was able to create the Safe Landing Program as a second division beneath the Shelter Care umbrella. This program started out as a co-ed facility, but in 1987, became two shelters, separated between boys and girls. In July of 2020, Safe Landing returned to its roots and merged the boys and girls shelters back into one.
The Respite Program came about in 1990 at the request of the Director of Child Guidance and Family Solutions in order to create a residential program for youth who needed scheduled breaks from home due to family conflict. Shelter Care has continued this collaboration since, and serves roughly 100 youth receiving counseling services from Child Guidance and Family Solutions per year.
The Highlands Teen Pregnancy Shelter was established in 2005 as the only licensed teen pregnancy shelter in the state of Ohio. Shelter Care was asked by Summit County Children Services to create a program for homeless, or at-risk teen girls who were either pregnant or parenting a child under three years of age.
SOS (Street Outreach Services) is Shelter Care’s only non-residential program that provides critical services to homeless and at-risk young adults, between the ages of 16 and 24. There are two additional programs that function beneath the SOS Program.
The Bridges program of Ohio, provides direct services such as housing, case management and independent living skills to young adults who age out of foster care in Ohio. Young adult participation in Bridges is voluntary, and young adults may apply to enroll (or re-enroll) in Bridges at any point before turning 21 years of age.
The second program that operates within SOS is called, “Rapid Re-Housing,” which provides short-term rental assistance and services. The goals are to help people obtain housing quickly, increase self-sufficiency, and stay housed.

Personal Words from Staff, Board Members and Friends of Shelter Care

Dave was especially compassionate to the young people who suffer through life’s sometimes awful trials.
He led a tireless ministry in Shelter Care through his dedication to serving children and families.
What a tender and determined servant-hearted man!

“He was a giant man of character and passion for others.”

“Dave was an amazing man and his legacy lives on through the work that we do every day here at Shelter Care.”

“I think of his Godliness. The way he lived his life, served others, and always had wisdom or a passage of scripture to share and encourage others.”

“What a tender and determined servant-hearted man! I was so thankful to him for giving me a chance over 15 years ago, and for the privilege of knowing him and his heart for people.”

“What a tremendous role model he has been to us. His wisdom, faith, and well-timed sense of humor will be missed, yet his lessons truly will live on.”

“I am a better father, counselor, and friend because of Dave.”

“Dave mentored me at the most critical points of my life.”

“Dave was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Always a kind word, always asked about my family, always so gentle.”

“Dave’s Godly character was evident to all and his reputation stellar.”

“Dave is now seeing everything he believed. He is experiencing the evidence of things hoped for. He is healed and walking on streets of gold!”
