We provide support for
men, women, and families experiencing homelessness.

When clients arrive at the Mission, they meet with a social worker who helps guide a housing first model of care for that individual. We work with landlords and other providers to give each client a choice in housing, employment and other goals they want to accomplish. We are focused on giving each client the opportunity to take control of their future by helping them escape homelessness permanently and as fast as possible.

We work with a continuum of care that includes shelters and other service providers across the state to get clients the help and resources they need. Our community has a coordinated assessment system for matching people experiencing homelessness to the most appropriate housing and services. This approach helps hundreds of men and women secure stable housing through Northlands Rescue Mission each year.

Social workers continue to work with clients as they transition from living at Northlands Rescue Mission to more stable housing. As clients move out of the Mission, we provide essential household items when possible. This includes furniture, cookware, hygiene products, air mattresses, and food boxes.

Clients who are close to moving out (or who have recently moved out) also have the opportunity to attend regular peer-led meetings. Here they can share concerns about independent living, ask questions, and further develop important life skills such as cooking and budgeting.
