ServiceNet – Resource Centers

Description

Resource Centers are the hub of ServiceNet’s Shelter and Housing programs.  They provide a range of services to assist those who are homeless – or at risk of homelessness – to become more self-supportive.

How We Help

People can go to the centers during the day to pick up a bag lunch or cup of coffee, and to use the computers and phones for their job and housing searches.

We offer one-on-one support and guidance to individuals who wish to set and attain a variety of goals—from securing employment, to achieving sobriety, finding a mental health counselor, signing up for food stamps or social security benefits, or renewing IDs.

We also provide a fixed address which people can use to receive their mail.

In addition, our comprehensive housing search services address issues which may prevent people from finding a home. Through our follow-up program, we help individuals keep their housing after they have moved out of the shelters.

You must be sober to be admitted, and no drugs, alcohol, or drug paraphernalia are allowed on the premises. We provide a hot dinner, breakfast, warm showers, laundry facilities, and toiletries and clothing when needed. During the daytime, you may use the services offered at the Resource Center.

Guests are able to work on their job and housing searches, begin a new job, and connect with needed rehabilitative, medical, and other services.

All guests must commit to remaining drug and alcohol-free throughout their stay. During your time at the shelter, you must share in cooking, cleaning, and other household tasks.
