The new emergency shelter at 12040 Horseshoe Way offers 36 beds for men and women, with options for couples. The shelter is the result of a partnership between the City of Richmond, the Salvation Army, and BC Housing, and delivers much needed shelter spaces in Richmond.

​

The facility also meets an immediate need for drop-in shelter spaces for women. The new shelter was built to replace the former Salvation Army men’s shelter on Shell Road, which offered 10 beds for men only.

Each  bedroom  will  host  two  guests  at  a  time.  The bedrooms are clean, warm, and have a light and airy feel to them. Each dorm has washrooms, and the women’s dorm has a separate lounge for the women to gather in if they wish to be separated from the general group. The guests of the shelter have access to a lounge and dining room where they can relax and spend time getting used to their new surroundings.
