This 35-bed emergency homeless shelter is operated by The Salvation Army of Washtenaw County. The shelter operates and has dedicated staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For the guests who stay there it is more than just a shelter, it is “home”. During this time guests are working toward establishing greater personal self-sufficiency with the goal of being able to move into more permanent housing upon completion of the program. This involves not only establishing a steady income, saving money, and dealing with bad credit histories, but also addressing any other issues that may have sabotaged their efforts to stay in permanent housing in the past.

The Staples Family Center serves a wide cross-section of homeless people including single adults, married couples, and families with children. The residents also represent a wide range of occupations, education levels and past work environments. Each resident has a unique, personal story to tell which may include difficult periods and long histories of substance abuse, domestic violence, medical problems and/or other challenges in their lives. Our goal for their stay at Staples Family Center is to provide them opportunities for physical, spiritual, emotional and social growth, and to create an environment of encouragement and healing. The Festive Affair is the crucial findraising event that sustains this very important place.
