The St. Louis Housing Authority (SLHA) successfully piloted the Emergency Winter Housing Program, a critical initiative to provide housing for unhoused families in St. Louis City. The program specifically supported households with members experiencing disabilities or chronic medical conditions, ensuring they have access to safe and stable housing.
We’d like to thank our partners at the St. Louis City Department of Human Services (DHS) and the St. Louis City Continuum of Care for helping us effectively allocate this housing assistance. Currently, the program has utilized all available funding to support this program. SLHA will continue working with the applicants who received vouchers and are searching for housing and will notify the remaining families on the wait list if additional funding becomes available for the program.
Support Our Housewarming Community Collection
To further assist families transitioning into stable housing, SLHA has launched a Housewarming Community Collectioninitiative to gather new essential household items. We invite you to participate by hosting a collection drive or donating directly to our Central Office at 3520 Page Blvd.
Suggested donation items include:
- Bedding(pillows, blankets, sheets)
- Towels and washcloths
- Kitchen essentials (pots, pans, utensils, dishware)

Your partnership and support are invaluable in making this initiative a success. If you have any questions or would like to register a donation drive, click here to complete the registration form, or contact Val Joyner, SLHA Director of Communication, at vjoyner@slha.org .
