The Drop Inn Center believes in human dignity and that everyone has the right to food, shelter, clothing and medical care. Our doors are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to anyone in need of our services. Greater individualized guidance and support are our keys to success.

 
 

Emergency Shelter

On average, we provide shelter to 250 men and women each and every day. During the winter months, the Center usually reaches its capacity to sleep 300 people each night. In a typical year, we serve more than 130,000 meals and distribute toiletries, towels, blankets and clothes to thousands of homeless residents. Volunteer medical professionals provide basic health care at no cost to residents six days a week.

Advocacy

The Drop Inn Center provides immediate shelter to the homeless with the goal of moving them into permanent housing. Once a homeless individual enters the Drop Inn Center, he or she meets with one of our Advocates. The Advocate interviews, evaluates and processes the person based upon the individual’s needs. Advocates then link residents to case management, support, services and referring agencies.
For more about advocacy, call 513.721.0643x115.

Homeless Individuals Partnership Program

This project creates a new paradigm for assisting chronically homeless individuals. It utilizes a six-person Collaborative Case Planning Team to engage, assess and provide case planning and treatment for chronically homeless single men and women. This team provides intensive services designed to help the individual access mainstream disability support services (mental health, substance abuse, etc.), and assists them in securing housing and income and/or benefits to sustain themselves. For more about chronically homeless, call 513.276.7263.

Shelter Based Case Management

The Shelter Based Case Management Program targets homeless men and women 18 and over, and those on whom the Drop Inn Center can have the greatest impact – effecting the best chance to deconcentrate the shelter and reduce homelessness. This project enables us to provide more one-on-one counseling to each homeless individual because case workers manage smaller groups – approximately 20 residents for each social worker. In the long run, this helps to ensure the success of each person's transition from homelessness back into housing. For more about case management, call 513.721.0643x123.
