Homelessness

Our Services

The Salvation Army of Asheville is committed to providing long-term and temporary shelter and support to individuals and families in our community who are experiencing homelessness. Our Center of Hope offers a variety of programs and services designed to help people overcome homelessness and rebuild their lives.

In 2025 we provided:

• 85,476 meals for our shelter residents
• 21,369 nights of shelter to men, women and children
• Family rooms allow families to stay together, providing the comfort of being together
• Operated at full capacity of 65
• Transitioned 152 people form the shelter to permanent residency, including 25 seniors and 3 single mother households

We offer essential services such as meals, clothing, and hygiene supplies. Our dedicated staff is committed to creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Beyond emergency shelter, we also provide a range of programs to help area individuals and families transition out of homelessness. These include case management, employmentresources, and housing navigation. By providing comprehensive support, we help address the underlying contributors to housing insecurity so that individuals and families can achieve greater stability and build a brighter future.

If you or someone you know in the community is experiencing homelessness, please reach out to our local office for assistance. We are here to help.
