Only men can stay at The Salvation Army CENLA’s current emergency shelter, which isn’t large enough to serve women and children. “Thanks to their generous investment, more people in Alexandria will have an option for emergency shelter.” “We are grateful for the funding support provided by Red River Bank and FHLB Dallas,” said Major Tim Williford, corps officer, The Salvation Army CENLA. Completion of the $5.7 million project is expected by July 2023. The funding, celebrated in a ceremonial check presentation today, will assist The Salvation Army of Central Louisiana (The Salvation Army CENLA) in developing a 19,250-square-foot multifamily homeless shelter and support facility with 32 beds.
