148 Taylor Street, Springfield MA 01105

148 Taylor Street provides an emergency shelter and transitional housing program for homeless men.

The facility at 148 Taylor Street (formerly a city fire house) accommodates up to 40 men each night in the Emergency Shelter Program on the first floor and an additional 17 men in the Transitional Living Program on the second floor. The purpose of the Emergency Shelter Program is to meet basic physical needs of the homeless while offering emotional support, encouragement and an opportunity to change their circumstances. Many of the men residing in SRM’s emergency shelter have never been homeless before and are homeless due to job layoffs and/or home foreclosures. The men in the Transitional Living Program receive free housing in a supervised environment, along with case management and assistance with education, job-training, career-planning and job placement.

The goal of the Springfield Rescue Mission since 1892 has been to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the hungry, homeless, addicted, and poor by introducing them to Christ and helping them apply the Word of God to every area of their lives. The Springfield Rescue Mission is a non-profit, Christian based Emergency Shelter and Rehabilitation Program providing food, clothing and shelter. No person is denied services based on race, creed, gender, or nationality.
