The Salvation Army Red Shield Family Residence and Eliza Shirley House both provide emergency housing services for families experiencing homelessness 365 days of the year. Through the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Homeless Services, families are referred to either the Eliza Shirley House or the Red Shield Family Residence for emergency shelter until a more permanent solution is provided.

We want to help people find a place to call home. When you need a more long-term solution, one of our permanent housing facilities may be a better fit. The Salvation Army Reed House located in the Grays Ferry section of Philadelphia is a 66-unit residence for single individuals.  Services available to residents include case management and drug and alcohol counseling.

The Salvation Army operates two senior citizen apartment complexes in the city of Philadelphia in partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Through this partnership, qualified seniors are housed in independent living facilities at an affordable rate. Older adults at both residences enjoy the companionship of other residents through activities, outings, and informal gatherings in our resident lounges.

New Day New Home (NDNH) is a long-term transitional living program that prepares women who have been forced into human trafficking for a new life of independence and self-sufficiency.
