Shelter
The Salvation Army Red Shield Center
The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Center is the only emergency shelter in Hillsborough County open 365 days a year. Adult men and women looking for shelter have an opportunity to receive lodging each day at our 172-bed Center.
How we help provide housing
During a stay at a Salvation Army shelter, clients will participate in programs and workshops developed to promote self-sufficiency and personal development. The Salvation Army also works with clients to help them transition into a more permanent housing situation.
On-site case workers develop, in cooperation with clients, an extensive goal-oriented program. Case workers continually motivate clients to meet these goals.
Support and referral services are also available for men and women committed to regaining independence .
