Central Kentucky Area Services Homelessness Information
Homelessness Services for Central Kentucky Area Services
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 a range of programs to help area individuals and families transition out of homelessness. These may include case management, job training, and housing assistance. 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.

Our doors are always open to women & children without a place to call home.
Sometimes life doesn’t turn out how we planned. Our emergency shelter for women and children can help. Our emergency shelter provides the safety and security of housing, with walk-ins accepted from 7am to 10pm, 7 days a week, and three meals per day. Services like on-site life skill classes, job training, and health care give women the resources they need to build a self-sufficient future.
Homelessness can happen to anyone.
As of 2021, approximately 11.6% of people in the United States were living in poverty. Housing insecurity is not limited to a certain “type” of person. It can happen to virtually anyone at any time.
