Senior Center Housing

In the city of Philadelphia, The Salvation Army operates two
senior citizen apartment complexes.

.

Where We Operate: A Community We Call Family 

The Salvation Army operates two senior citizens residence apartment complexes in Philadelphia, exclusively for senior citizens age 62 years or older and who qualify under U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines as being low income.

Both residences are independent living facilities which provide individual apartments to seniors (individuals or couples), as well as comprehensive supportive services. Tenants at The Salvation Army senior housing units pay 30 percent of their adjusted gross income for rent, and HUD pays the balance.

Currently, The Salvation Army Senior Citizen Houses are located in Philadelphia and serves more than 200 residents each year using a long term supportive housing model for older adults. On-site social services programming provides an array of activities, and case management interventions, which support older adults to remain self-sufficient.

The Salvation Army Booth Manor | 5522 Arch Street, Philadelphia 19139 | 215-471-0500
The Salvation Army Ivy Residence | 4051 Ford Road, Philadelphia 19131 | 215-871-3303
