About the Booth Centre

The Salvation Army Booth Centre in St. Catharines has a history or providing excellent service since 1952. The present building was opened in 1958. The programming included treatment for Alcoholism in the early days but that is no longer done here. Currently we operate a 20 bed emergency hostel and a 12 bed federal halfway house. The hostel has a funding agreement with the Region of Niagara on a per diem for bed stays as well as receiving cash paying clients. The Halfway house is known as a CRF (Community Release Facility) it is operated under contract with Correctional Service Canada. Clients for the CRF are accepted only from CSC following approval by our community assessment team. The Salvation Army Booth Centre also provides court support workers in the St. Catharines' courthouse. The worker is there to provide limited support to victims and the families of the accused as well as the accused. This is done on a part-time basis on weekday mornings. The Salvation Army Booth Centre also provides for chaplaincy staff visits at the Niagara Detention Centre as well as a monthly chapel service. This allows us to have contact with the clients who are sometimes in need of our services when they are released. The Salvation Army Booth Centre under the National family-tracing program of The Salvation Army helps to reunite families who have lost contact with each other. If you would like more information on any of these services please feel free to contact the Booth Centre.
