St. Francis House are an ecumenical emergency shelter and transitional housing program for the homeless offering hospitality, fellowship and support to those in need.
Their program provides their guests shelter, food, case management, and support. They offer special services for reaching long term goals including employment, independent housing, addiction recovery, and money management.
