The Girls Shelter of Fort Smith is a United Way community partner that began in 1970 as a temporary emergency shelter and later became a long-term residential treatment facility. In April 2002 a new 7,000 square-foot facility was built on a two-acre lot at South 26th and Quincy. The shelter is licensed for eight girls ages 12 to 17. The program provides a residential setting, case management, individual and family counseling, education support, job skills and money management training, and basic needs such as food, transportation, personal items, and clothing. The shelter’s long-term goal is to reunite residents with their families. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
