Homeless Services

Providing emergency housing for women and families with children so they can rebuild their lives.

Providing Safety & Warmth for Families in Need

The Salvation Army is dedicated to helping those in need. Declared an Essential Community Resource during the pandemic, our Emergency Housing program continued operations to support vulnerable individuals and families.

Beyond providing food, clothing, and care, we strive to create daily activities for residents. We welcome donations of board games (with plastic pieces), coloring books, crayons, family-friendly movies, and other activities to enrich our residents' lives, build confidence, and foster positive relationships.

Our Mission

The Salvation Army Homeless Services in Wichita is committed to ending homelessness among families with children and single women.

We provide a safe, respectful, and empowering environment where individuals work toward financial independence, employment, and permanent housing. All residents receive free guidance and resources to help them achieve stability.

Our programs support individuals on fixed incomes, those working to rise above the poverty line, and families fighting to secure a safe home for their children.

Housing Programs

Transitional Housing Program

Designed for families and single women facing eviction, domestic breakup, or housing crises, this program provides individualized case management to help residents work towards long-term stability.

Rapid Rehousing Program

This program offers rental assistance that gradually decreases as individuals and families regain financial stability. Additional support includes food, utilities, education assistance, and case management to promote long-term success.

Both programs equip individuals with the necessary resources and support to transition into permanent housing.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…” – Matthew 25:35
