Our Doors are always open

Each year, The Salvation Army provides over 10 million nights of shelter to those in need

You are not alone. The Salvation Army is here for you.

Sometimes life does not turn out how we planned. Our emergency, transitional, and permanent housing options across Philadelphia can help. At The Salvation Army, we have an open door policy when it comes to those needing help with housing—whether they need a place to rest their head at night or assistance finding a way to stay in their own home. All are welcome, and every night we work to ensure hundreds of men, women, and children sleep safely and dream of a better tomorrow.

Emergency housing for Families

The Eliza Shirley House and The Red Shield Family Residence

The Salvation Army Red Shield Family Residence and Eliza Shirley House both provide emergency housing services for homeless families 365 days of the year.

Supportive Housing

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.
