Take a Shelter Tour

The Salvation Army Rathgeber Center for Families (RC) is a low barrier, housing-focused emergency shelter serving families with children experiencing homelessness. Case management, rapid rehousing services, employment assistance, computer labs, and child/family therapy are provided on-site. The RC opened in February of 2020 and was built with privately-raised Salvation Army Capital Campaign dollars on land donated by Dick and Sara Rathgeber. The Rathgeber Center is comprised of two separate "phases." Phase I serves as a case-managed emergency shelter with 120 beds in 42 private rooms; the average family stay is 4-6 months. Phase II has 23 extended-stay suites where families with higher barriers can stay, find success, and eventually move into permanent housing.
