  • 127 adults and 246 children
  • 58% of our clients exited into permanent housing

How we help equip families

While at a Salvation Army shelter, families and individuals participate in programs and workshops developed to promote self-sufficiency and personal development. Each resident is matched with an on-site caseworker and together they develop an extensive goal-oriented program designed to identify and overcome the barriers to safe, permanent housing. 

GET SHELTER
The Barbara L. Goodmon Family Emergency Shelter at the Judy D. Zelnak Center of Hope assists homeless families and those fleeing domestic violence. In addition to providing basic necessities, we offer individual case management, parenting workshops, and tutoring opportunities for children.
