Salvation Army Lambuth Center in Denver, Colorado

About Salvation Army Lambuth Center

Lambuth Family Center and Harbor Light Center in Denver, Colorado are part of The Salvation Army’s network of care. Harbor Light Center is a residential addiction treatment provider for adult men, while Lambuth Family Center offers emergency shelter and supportive services for families experiencing homelessness, focusing on housing stability rather than clinical addiction care.

Many clients highlight Harbor Light’s strong sobriety outcomes and Lambuth’s warm, family friendly environment that helps children and parents feel safe and supported. The center is located in the Sloan Lake and Jefferson Park area, at the corner of Federal Boulevard and West 28th Avenue, just a few blocks from Highland Park.

A Short Term Transitional Shelter

Lambuth Family Center isn’t a treatment facility for addiction like the Harbor Light Center is. Instead, this facility provides short term emergency shelter for up to 90 days, along with case management aimed at helping families regain housing stability.

Serving Familes of All Ages

Lambuth welcomes families with minor children, and households are capped at six people plus an infant. They serve people of all identities, including LGBTQ+ people, using a low barrier model. This means that they aim to reduce barriers that often hold people back from getting essential services.

Services at Little or No Cost

Because Lambuth Family Center is a program under the Salvation Army, they operate under a low cost or no cost model, focused on emergency shelter and housing assistance rather than clinical treatment, without requirement of private insurance coverage. Their aim is to make shelter and basic needs available to everyone.
