Helping the Homeless of Carbon County since 2007
Join us in our mission to provide a safe haven for homeless adults in Carbon County.
About Peaceful Knights (2 locations)
For Men - 215 N 1st St, Lehighton
- We offer an emergency shelter which is open 365 nights a year. A wonderful place to get a hot meal, watch some TV, get a shower, and a safe and warm night's sleep.
- Opens at 7pm - must leave by 9am (unless there is severe weather)
- We also offer a men's transitional living program. For those that qualify, men can live there while they find employment and save up enough to move out on their own.
For Women - 133 N 1st St, Lehighton (we are NOT a domestic violence shelter)
- Currently, we have our Women's Transitional Living Program up and running. Women who qualify come and live here while they find employment and save up enough money to move out on their own.
- The Women's Emergency Shelter is under construction - we hope to be open by Spring of 2024
How do I apply?
- Because of our size, we are limited to helping people in/from Carbon County. (do not come here from out of county)
- We also DO NOT accept anyone directly from a hospital or mental health facility
- To get into our emergency shelter, we only ask for ID and that you not be severely intoxicated/high and not be combatant or rude. If you do not have ID, we will try to confirm your identity with some additional info from you. (confirming your identity is a safety requirement for the shelter)
- To get into one of our transitional living programs - you must pass a drug test and go through a 2-part application process. Here is a link to the first part:
