Emergency Housing for Homeless Families and Single Women

Our three shelters provide emergency housing for homeless families and single women. We only serve single men at our St. Peter Location, however, during winter months, they can be served at the Salvation Army and Connections Shelters as well. Guests at the shelter work with a case manager to overcome identified barriers to successful housing. Our facility is secured and is staffed by many friendly and professional staff. We offer life skill workshops on a weekly basis to improve knowledge of our guest during their 30 day stay with us.

Between the three shelters, we have 25 living spaces that can accommodate singles and families. Guests are provided simple bedrooms with a shared kitchen, bathroom and living space. Some small, private apartments are also available for families. Guest can stay up till 30 days at our shelter. Working towards achieving goals and establishing a budget we work day to day to give clients skills and knowledge for them to be successful on their own.
