WARREN, MI-A new $8.5 million Salvation Army service center has been completed by F.H. Martin Construction Company here.

The facility includes a 50-bed homeless shelter with attached soup kitchen, social services center and church sanctuary. A 30,000-sf warehouse is located across the parking lot to serve as a warehouse for the Gleaners Food Bank.

The land for the property was donated to the Salvation Army by the federal government and by General Motors, whose Warren Powertrain Plant borders the property along Mound Road on the south. The property, known as Arsenal Acres and comprising a little more than five acres, was used before and during World War II to house Navy and Army officers working at a neighboring tank and weapons manufacturing center. The tank plant closed in 1991, though the housing area had not been used for several years prior.
