About The Union Mission

The Union Mission was founded in 1987 by a single individual who, in conjunction with the Latrobe Ministerial Association, saw the need for a short-term residential facility for disadvantaged men. The Mission would be a place where housing and support could be offered for those experiencing economic and/or personal crises in their life. Men did not just "stay" at the Mission. They were oriented into the community with a broader purpose and given opportunities for ongoing counseling, fellowship, group activities and much more. It remains a place where both our guests and our neighbors see past the erroneous stigmas attached to homelessness and invite one another to a more accurate understanding of the dignity of the human person. Recognizing the changing landscape around housing insecurity and the barriers our clients were facing, the Union Mission has evolved into providing a variety of interventions and support mechanisms toward ensuring that homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring in Westmoreland County.
