Anchorage Booth Centre

The Anchorage Booth Centre — now operating as the Salvation Army Winnipeg Centre of Hope — is a comprehensive social services organization located at 180 Henry Avenue in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Operated by the Salvation Army, the Centre provides residential addiction recovery, transitional housing, shelter, and wraparound support services for individuals and families experiencing addiction, homelessness, and poverty in Winnipeg’s core. The Centre’s mission is grounded in the Salvation Army’s Christian values of compassion, dignity, and practical service — meeting each person’s immediate needs while working toward long-term recovery and stability.

Residential Addiction Recovery and Aftercare

The Centre provides residential addiction treatment and recovery programming for adults dealing with alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine, opioid, and other substance use concerns. Individual counselling, group programming, and spiritual care support residents through the recovery process in a structured, community-oriented environment. Aftercare planning and sober living support help individuals transition from residential treatment back into independent living, providing the continuity of care that is essential for lasting recovery.

Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, and Family Services

Beyond addiction recovery, the Centre operates emergency shelter providing 24/7 crisis accommodation for individuals experiencing homelessness. The SonRise Family Shelter provides temporary housing and personalized support for families, while transitional housing offers longer-term supportive accommodations with case management for individuals working toward independence. With over 1,100 homemade meals served daily, the Centre also provides essential nutritional support for the most vulnerable residents of Winnipeg’s downtown community.

Indigenous Support and Wraparound Community Services

The Salvation Army Winnipeg Centre of Hope provides dedicated Indigenous relations support, recognizing the particular needs and cultural context of Indigenous people accessing their services. Case management connects residents and community members with the full range of provincial and community resources — mental health services, income assistance, employment programs, and family services. For individuals in Winnipeg whose lives have been affected by addiction, homelessness, or poverty, the Centre of Hope offers one of the most comprehensive and accessible points of entry into recovery and stability.
