HumanKind Ministries operates a year-round, extended-stay shelter and Wichita’s Emergency Winter Shelter. These shelters serve approximately 1,400 individuals and families each year. Above and beyond basic needs, through our shelters, clients can receive support through community resources and develop the life skills needed to maintain a healthy and stable home life.

The Inn is a 60-bed, 24-hour facility that provides shelter, meals, clothing and other basic living essentials to individuals and families. A typical stay is 30-90 days, but guests are welcome to stay as long as they need to address their obstacles to housing.
Opened on Valentine’s Day in 1985, The Inn can provide shelter and meals and is almost always full. Some have been on the streets for years while others find themselves without a place to stay for the first time in their lives. Case management staff provides support to the clients that helps them address their unique challenges, find and maintain permanent housing, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
We try our hardest to accommodate guests and groups of all sizes on a first-come, first-served basis. However, given our dorm-style rooms and guests’ ever-changing circumstances, please call ahead to confirm bed availability.
