Homeless Shelters
The number of sheltered individuals with chronic patterns of homelessness increased by 20% between 2020 and 2021, highlighting the crucial role of homeless shelters. This is a challenge that we are tackling with full heart and compassion. For those with no safe place to go or in need of emergency shelter, local Salvation Army homeless shelters provide a warm, secure place for homeless men, women, and children to stay.
At The Salvation Army, our doors are open every day — and night — of the year. Through our emergency housing facilities, homeless shelters, transitional living centers, group homes, and family shelters, we provide more than 8 million nights of safe lodging annually.
In some cities where we do not currently operate homeless shelters, we help provide financial assistance to cover emergency overnight housing costs or refer those facing food insecurity and those at risk of homelessness to trusted partner programs with shelter services for unhoused people.
In addition to supplying beds, food, shelter from the elements, and basic hygiene resources to those in need at our homeless shelters, we help combat long-term homelessness in America by providing homeless adults, veterans, and children with holistic physical, emotional, and spiritual support.
Transitional Housing
Our transitional housing programs are designed to transition unhoused people from homeless shelters into more permanent living situations. In many programs, The Salvation Army provides case management, child care, job skills training, substance abuse counseling, job placement, and referral to resources when needed.
Life Skills Resources
In addition to providing food and lodging, our centers offer educational support, counseling, mental health, and vocational services to homeless individuals, families, and vulnerable youth. Our dedicated on-site caseworkers help clients to embrace responsibility, meet important goals, and gain self-sufficiency. In fact, even after residents secure permanent housing, we continue to help them maintain stability by way of food and utility assistance.
