The Union Mission

The Union Mission is a faith-based organization serving people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity in Westmoreland County and surrounding communities. Founded in 1987, it works with community members, businesses, landlords, churches, and other partners to help people move toward safe, affordable, and sustained housing.

As a Coordinated Entry site for Westmoreland County, the Mission helps connect people facing a housing crisis with assessments, resources, emergency shelter, and longer-term housing solutions. Its structured supportive programs may include counseling, case management, life-skills training, spiritual development, education, and assistance with planning for a stable transition into the community.

The Union Mission also uses Rapid Rehousing, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Shared Housing strategies. These approaches can combine housing assistance with support for independent living, tenancy skills, health care, treatment, employment, and other needs.
