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, but many others who work hard become overwhelmed by an unexpected illness, loss of employment, or simply the rising costs of living.
Waterfront Rescue Mission has two shelters:
Pensacola Campus
(Shelter for men and women)
348 West Herman Street
Pensacola, Florida 32505
Pensacola, Florida 32505
Mobile Campus
(Shelter for men only)
279A North Washington Ave
Mobile, AL 36603

Support for the Chronically Homeless
We also offer extended stay opportunities for our Chronically Homeless guests, those men and women (Pensacola only) who indicate that they want more than a night of shelter; they are seeking a path out of homelessness.
We provide designated space for them to stay with us for weeks or months – whatever it takes – as our staff helps them build a practical plan to get out of homelessness. We work with them on developing valuable life skills that in return will help them land a job, secure affordable housing, manage a budget, and continue on a path towards sustainable life change.
If you or someone you know is in need of housing assistance, learn more about our homeless services.
