Allentown Citadel Homelessness Information
Homelessness Services at Allentown Citadel
The Salvation Army Allentown is committed to providing long-term and temporary shelter and support to individuals and families in our community who are experiencing homelessness. Our local office offers a variety of programs and services designed to help people overcome homelessness and rebuild their lives.
Rich Fleming Family Hope Center
The Rich Fleming Family Hope Center welcomes homeless women with children. The facility provides shelter on an emergency basis for forty-five days. Families who are closely working with our case worker and require a longer length of stay to maintain educational goals, to obtain employment and/or who exhibit a strong commitment to the program are granted longer lengths of stays.
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.
Additional Shelters
The Beall and Linny Flowers Hospitality House is designed to provide food and emergency housing to women in need. Underlying this program is a motivation to identify the causes of homelessness and work to alleviate or eliminate homelessness at its source.
