In 2019, the Simpson United Methodist Church congregation generously gifted the church building and site to Simpson Housing Services. We operated an emergency shelter in the Simpson United Methodist Church for four decades, but the 141-year-old structure was never built to accommodate a shelter.
We’re excited to present to you the new Simpson Community Shelter and Apartments, which opened to guests on January 12, 2026. See the photos from the event below!
