About

St. Francis House begins work on
new Transitional Housing Program!

The St. Francis House is an ecumenical emergency shelter for the homeless offering hospitality, fellowship, and support to those who have nowhere to sleep. We provide a warm bed, showers, laundry, food, and other referrals. We offer special services for reaching long term goals including employment, independent housing, and addiction recovery.

Those served at the St. Francis House include tired travelers, those coming from hospitals, treatment centers, and prisons, families looking to relocate, and anyone looking for a chance to start over. Guest have ranged from newborn infants to the elderly. We are open 24 hours a day seven days a week including holidays.

The St. Francis House depends entirely on private donations for its operating funds. Various grants from private foundations and the state of South Dakota have funded some new programs and renovations to the house, however, these grants are a one time gift and the improvements they funds must be maintained through our regular budget.

Our Mission Statement: The St Francis House: An Ecumenical Ministry, Moving People from Homelessness to Hope!
