Solid Rock Safe Haven
A homeless shelter for men
OUR MISSION
The Solid Rock Safe Haven is dedicated to helping identify, demonstrating support, strengthen, and enriching the quality of life for all willing individuals, but expressly for low-income men in the area. We seek to alleviate homelessness, hunger, and problems facing this population through programs and services.
A Little History
The Solid Rock set its roots back in 1938 under the Peoples Gospel Mission. In 1980, it was reorganized as the Sold Rock Safe Haven under the guidance of the Solid Rock Outreach Ministries. In 1999, NWCSA agreed to take over the management and operations of the Solid Rock program.
Over the years, the Solid Rock Men's Shelter has helped countless men and referred women and children to other agencies in Douglas County. We have changed over the years to meet emerging needs. However, we have not changed the orginal spirit of helping others where we can.
