The Salvation Army’s Gladstone House, a non-profit residential program, is a 15-bed non-profit facility located at 1167 Gladstone Avenue. The objective of the program is to provide short-term affordable lodging for men who are transitioning to an autonomous lifestyle.

It is located minutes away from the Civic Hospital.

The program accepts applicants from different programs and walks of life. Gladstone House offers an array of programming and gives clients the opportunity to learn the skills needed to maintain independent living.

The admission process begins by sending an application to the Gladstone House Supervisor. After an initial screening, applicants are interviewed to assess whether they are a good fit and suitable for the program.

Once an applicant is accepted, an orientation and tour will take place. The applicant is then given an intake date.

We can only accept individuals who have been double vaccinated.  

The new resident, upon his arrival for his intake, will meet again with the supervisor, who introduces him to the others who reside in the home. All residents are responsible for their:

1. Groceries
2. Cooking
3. Room cleanliness
4. Chores

Residents are expected to become integral members of the household and maintain all aspects of a functioning residence.
