Drop In Center
Services for youth, provided at our drop-in center, include:
Traditional “drop-in” services i.e. food, basic needs, hygiene, safe space, etc.
Housing-focused support to obtain and/or maintain stable housing, which may include coordinated entry assessment and navigation, case management, housing connections and referrals, and barrier removal
Additional youth-led, trauma-informed supportive services related to self-identified goals, including benefits assistance, employment connections, legal counseling, harm reduction, parenting/pregnancy support, and more.
Note: We will continue to add additional services, per youth demand and request, and as our staff and space can accommodate. Please be mindful that we will be in a period of transition and growth for the next few months, especially as we center youth voice and shape our programming accordingly.
