Homelessness Services at The Salvation Army East Stroudsburg
The Salvation Army 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.
Many communities have emergency homeless shelters to provide a safe and secure environment for unhoused individuals and families to stay while they seek stable housing. We offer essential services such as meals, clothing, and hygiene supplies. Our dedicated staff and volunteers are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
Beyond emergency shelter, we also provide rent and utility assistance to keep families in their homes.
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.
