About Us

We envision a community in which everyone belongs.

Established in 1982, we are a community-based agency in Hamilton, Ontario supporting adults with dual diagnoses, including developmental disabilities and psychiatric conditions. The people we support range in age from 18 to 84, and live in group homes, supported independent living apartments, intensive supports homes and long-term care centres throughout Hamilton.

The Salvation Army Lawson Ministries Hamilton (SALMH) is committed to establishing a network of people who provide support and social inclusion to adults with developmental disabilities and their families. We accomplish this through residential and day program services in supportive, caring environments that address individual needs.

Our main office at 533 Main Street E. in Hamilton offers facilities and services for our clients.
