Our Services
SPCC is more than a homeless shelter. We are a community rehousing center. Our services focus on the housing rehabilitation of each individual. Homelessness can happen to anyone. In fact, most Americans are one major disaster away from experiencing homelessness. From offering daily meals, showers and mail service, to helping our clients manage their income and thrive in independent living, SPCC Toledo is proud to have served the greater Lucas County community for more 45 years!
Social Services
At SPCC Toledo we see how our meals and shelter are just the first step for men and women to transform their lives.
In addition to a warm bed and food provided at SPCC, we focus on programs and services that help hundreds of men and women get back on their feet and live independently.
We help our clients get back to work, guide them to accessing benefits and health care, and move them into their own homes.
Simply put, we are much more than a homeless shelter.
Payee Program
SPCC Toledo’s Representative Payee Program provides financial management for more than 600 individuals in Lucas County who live independently with mental and/or physical disabilities.
The program works as a homeless prevention program by ensuring the individual’s rent and utilities are paid in a timely manner. Excess income is distributed throughout the month based on the needs and wants of each individual.

Winter Crisis Program
Our Winter Crisis Program opens the shelter doors on the coldest nights of the year. Without this program, many area homeless individuals would have nowhere to go.
Donations of food, winter clothing, personal hygiene items, socks and underclothes are accepted to help with the Winter Crisis Program.
SPCC Toledo’s Winter Crisis Program runs all winter. No reservation is needed. We accept all individuals, until we are at capacity.
The Shelter
Our 35-bed Shelter program provides more than 12,000 nights of shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness each year. 90% of shelter residents are severely and persistently mentally ill.
Beyond food, shelter and basic needs, we also provide case management focused on permanent housing solutions and guidance on how to navigate community resources.
Rapid Rehousing
Rapid rehousing offers case management support to individuals after they are housed, helping them build self-sufficiency and stability.
