Westside Emergency Men's Shelter

The shelter is a 100 bed facility located on the grouds of Spring Grove State Hospital in Catonsville, Maryland. Men receive 3 meals a day, laundry service, personal hygene items, clothing and other resources as needed.

Men are inspired and encouraged to work toward their own self sufficiancy with assistance from the staff, agency, and volunteer organizations dedicated to ending homelessness.

We use a holistic approach which consist of healing body, mind, and spirit.

Men receive health care through Health Care for the Homeless/Baltimore County as well as other medical facilities. We are currently beginning to partner with Mission of Mery as well as area dentist to provide emergency dental service to those residents needing immediate tooth extractions.

Those men needing mental health assistane are partnered with several community mental health agencies.


Through the generosity of Lazarus Caucus, a coalition of faith based organizations located in the Catonsville Community, men receive assistance with clothing,bus passes, applying for ID's , Social Security Cards, Birth Certificates and other personal needs. These churches provide the largest amount of food received by the shelter.They also offer the men spiritual guidance according to their particular beliefs.

It is our goal to instill in each man the dignity and respect they deserve. We view each other as brothers, sharing a common need and goal. You can help!

Donations are always welcome, whether it be financial or in-kind. Please feel free to contact me at any time and I will be more than happy to assist you in assisting us!
