Overnight Shelters
Every night, hundreds of individuals seek refuge at one of Waterfront Rescue Mission’s shelters. Imagine you’re on the streets with no money, no home to go to, and no one to help you. Where will your next meal come from? Where will you sleep tonight? Who can you trust?
Each year, Waterfront provides about 40,000 nights of shelter to homeless individuals in our community. These people have fallen into homelessness for many reasons. For some, it’s substance abuse, while others who work hard may become overwhelmed by an unexpected illness, loss of employment, or the rising cost of living.
Waterfront Rescue Mission has two shelters:

Support for the Chronically Homeless
We offer extended stay opportunities for our chronically homeless guests who seek more than just a night of shelter and are committed to finding a path out of homelessness.
We provide a designated space where they can stay for weeks or even months–whatever it takes–as our team works with them to develop a practical plan to overcome homelessness. We assist them in building valuable life skills to help them secure employment, find affordable housing, manage a budget, and continue on the path toward sustainable life change.
If you or someone you know is in need of housing assistance, learn more about our homeless services.
