The Salvation Army Men’s Emergency Shelter operates year-round for men experiencing chronic and episodic homelessness. The shelter facility is comprised of four dorm rooms with a total of 31 bed spaces. Room 101 is a 10-mat room specific for high-risk individuals. Room 102 and 103 are general rooms each equipped with four bunk beds, and room 104, or “productive choice” is reserved for clients in the Productive Choice program. The shelter is also equipped with a communal space for meals and leisure activities, a kitchen, a shelter office for book-ins, storage and security, and a caseworker office for confidential appointments.
Mission:
- To assist homeless men and those men at risk of homelessness to become self-sufficient and independent through the reduction of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual barriers.
- To provide an environment which is safe, stable, and drug and alcohol free for guests.
- To serve as a bridge between the “street” and the opportunity for housing by providing linkages to external key services such as outreach, health care, addictions treatment, income assistance, or employment programs.
- To work in conjunction with like-minded organizations to strengthen and support agencies in their front-line role of responding to the needs of the homeless.
Additional Information:
The Men’s Emergency shelter operates on a nightly basis and is available to adult men facing homelessness. The shelter is equipped to handle a max capacity of 49 sleeping spaces.
A soup line is provided from 12:30-1:00pm (for men, women, and children accompanied by an adult). A hot supper meal (for men only) is offered from 7:00-7:45pm.
Once a week volunteers run a foot washing program where they wash the feet of the men and offer them fresh socks.
