Our Doors are always open

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

As long as there's a salvation army,

there's no such thing as no place to go

When you need a place to stay during the “in-between,” our transitional housing program offers shelter until you find a permanent place to live. If you’ve been evicted, are dealing with an addiction, face a domestic break-up or have another type of housing crisis, contact your local Salvation Army to find out what transitional housing options are available in your area.

About 15% of all homeless people are considered "chronically homeless"

Every Night, The Salvation Army Shelters Almost 30,000 Homeless Americans

How we help provide housing

Sometimes life doesn’t turn out how we planned. Other times we get slammed with an unexpected hiccup, such as job loss or medical debt. With one in six people living in poverty today, hardship can easily lead to homelessness. The Mankato Salvation Army has transitional and permanent housing options in that can help.

Permanent, Supportive Housing (Maxfield Place)
Maxfield Place is a permanent, supportive housing program for adults with a diagnosed disability who are considered chronically homeless.

There are 10 individual semi - furnished apartments for single adults which include a bed, full kitchen and bathroom. Residents cook and prepare their own meals and do their own laundry. Rents are affordable, and pay 30% of their gross earned income. Maxfield Place is an alcohol, drug and smoke free property, with 10 efficiency apartments designed for single individuals who can live independently.

Maxfield Place is staffed 24 hours a day, and employs Service Coordinators and Case Workers, who helps residents develop a long-term plan and collaborates with other service providers for referrals. Since 2006, The Salvation Army has worked with the Office of Housing and Urban Development to support the program. Acceptance into Maxfield Place is through Coordinated Entry. We are neighbors helping neighbors. Our Philosophy is Housing First. At Maxfield Place, we are here to support you with personalized services that inspire hope, change lives and build a stronger community.
