About The Salvation Army - Granby Lifehouse
The Salvation Army's Granby Lifehouse is more than a hostel or shelter for the night. At a Lifehouse we get people their life back. We provide housing for individuals who have been socially excluded. The Salvation Army has a long history of working with people who are vulnerable and marginalised in every community.
