Homeless Intake Centers help you avoid homelessness and provide temporary shelter when needed. Once you’re in shelter, you’ll need to:
- Develop a plan to move into permanent housing
- Apply for and maintain Public Assistance eligibility
- Find and keep a job if you’re able to work
- Follow shelter rules
Drop-In Centers (DICs) help you transition off the street with:
- Hot meals and clothing
- Showers and laundry facilities
- Counseling, case management, and health care connections
- Job search and benefits application help
- Transitional housing options
Your immigration status doesn’t affect your eligibility for these services. Interpreters are available if you don’t speak English.
