Lawrence Community Shelter

Lawrence Community Shelter provides emergency shelter, care coordination, and housing stabilization services for people experiencing homelessness in Lawrence and Douglas County. Guests can access case management, meals, bathing and laundry facilities, personal-item storage, help obtaining vital documents, connections to community services, and support securing income.

Its rehousing services help address barriers to permanent housing through rental assistance and financial support related to deposits, back rent, overdue bills, and other housing-related debts. Care coordination can also connect guests with resources involving mental health, substance use, legal needs, physical health, permanent supportive housing, benefits, and employment. Learn more about these services through the Lawrence Community Shelter rehousing program.

People seeking broader assistance can review NHREA’s Kansas homeless assistance resources and federal assistance resources. Visit the official shelter website to confirm current program details and available support.
