Twin Cities Adult Housing
The following five programs are operated by The Salvation Army Harbor Light Multi-Services Center in Minneapolis, which can be contacted at 612-338-0113:

  • Beacon Chemical Dependency Primary Treatment Program
    1010 Currie Ave., Minneapolis
    This program provides services to chemically dependent adult men. Relapse prevention is stressed. Beacon includes a 21-day in-house restriction with 30 hours per week of rehabilitative services. The Beacon program (based on the 12- step model) is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team. Clients who enter the program are typically homeless, without family support and in need of an extensive, holistic approach to treatment.

  • Beacon Chemical Dependency Halfway House Program
    1010 Currie Ave., Minneapolis
    This program provides services for recovering chemically dependent adult men. The halfway house program provides 75 days of in-patient rehabilitative services with special emphasis on vocational evaluation and placement efforts. Relapse prevention is stressed. Clients are encouraged to find educational and/or employment placement within the first 60 days. During halfway house treatment, clients and staff assess the need for continued supportive housing and consider the transitional housing program as a next step in recovery. Planned, structured aftercare is strongly suggested to all graduates. Upon successful completion of the Beacon Halfway House treatment program, a formal graduation ceremony is held to honor the success and achievements accomplished by each man. The Beacon program also offers a variety of services to assist individuals on an outpatient basis.

  • Emergency Housing
    1010 Currie Ave., Minneapolis
    Working in conjunction with the Hennepin County Bureau of Social Services, Harbor Light provides a 24-hour shelter for sober, homeless men. These men have no place to stay and may be eligible for government assistance. This 125-bed unit provides each man with a bed, linens, locker and three meals a day. Support and referral services are available to those who wish to use them.

  • Booth Services
    1010 Currie Ave, Minneapolis
    Booth Services provides emergency housing to working adults, offering affordable housing for men and women as they seek permanent housing.

  • Transitional Housing Program
    People in need of housing are able to stabilize their lives and find permanent living arrangements through the Transitional Housing Program. At various sites in Minneapolis and Columbia Heights, this program provides temporary housing and support services for up to 2 years to recovering, low-income single men and women. Additionally, the Transitional Housing program has partnered with the Veterans Administration to provide housing to homeless veterans.


Booth Brown House Foyer Program (BBHF)
With its 35 single-room apartments in St. Paul, Foyer assists previously homeless men and women ages 16 to 21 who are working toward self-sufficiency. The safe, stable and affordable environment teaches them how to set and achieve goals through classes on renting, budgeting, job interviewing and cooking. Classes are accompanied with individual guidance from Salvation Army staff.


Rehabilitation Center
900 N 1st St. Minneapolis
The Rehabilitation Center serves men with social, emotional and spiritual needs who have lost the ability to cope with their problems and provide for themselves. The center provides adequate housing with work, group and individual therapy in clean wholesome surroundings. The entire program is built on a spiritual motivation - a compulsion to help men as an expression of Divine love. Rehabilitation is the process of restoring individuals to their best possible level of functioning. It includes all aspects of the center program - the spiritual emphasis, to bring people into an effective relationship with God; work therapy; health and education; social and leisure-time activities; individual and group therapy; the living arrangements; and the general aura of the center. This program is entirely funded by donations to Salvation Army Thrift Stores. Contact the Rehabilitation Center. Twin Cities area thrift store donations pick-up: 612-332-5855.


Duluth Catherine Booth Residence
The Salvation Army's Catherine Booth Residence is a five unit transitional housing program serving recovering chemically-dependent women and their children. The emphasis of this program is on family reunification, long-term chemical dependency treatment and intensive family-based case management. For additional information on the Catherine Booth Residence, please visit The Salvation Army Duluth Worship & Community Center's website.


Mankato Seasonal Emergency Shelter
700 S. Riverfront Dr., Mankato, MN
Open mid-October to mid-April (depending upon weather conditions), this men's cold-weather shelter serves up to 23 guests per night in a bunkhouse-style setting. Extra space is made available during extreme weather.


Rochester Transitional Housing
20 1st Ave. NE
The Transitional Living and Counseling Program (TLC) provides scattered-site temporary supportive housing to 10 homeless families of Rochester. As a family enters the program, a strengths and needs assessment determines how best to help the family. The goal of the TLC program is to equip families with the tools necessary to secure permanent housing. As families are relieved of the immediate burden of homelessness, they can work to achieve the skills and self-determination necessary to reach that goal.


St. Cloud Emergency Shelter
400 S. Highway 10, St. Cloud, MN
The St. Cloud emergency housing program provides 24-hour shelter and three hot meals a day for up to 64 men, women and children. Shelter guests meet with case managers to develop a basic plan of action to address their unique needs and identify specific goals to help them successfully transition into independent, self-sufficient housing.


Supportive Services for Veteran Families
