Keystone Mission

The organization's board of directors announced Justin Behrens will return as director after Danielle Keith-Alexandre's "departure."

A report from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development showed the number of people experiencing homelessness in the U.S. hit record levels in 2024. Local organizations say they need the public's support to address the needs of the community.

Keystone Mission opened a permanent overnight shelter space this year and it has been filling up consistently as the nights get colder.

For years, Keystone Mission has only been able to offer temporary overnight shelter to those experiencing homelessness in Wilkes-Barre. As of Monday, they have a permanent overnight program.
