Homeless Services

Picture of homeless personThe Department of Mental Health provides services to homeless individuals 18 and older with mental health disorders. Homeless Outreach Teams provide crisis assessment and interventions to homeless persons who may be experiencing a mental health crisis whether on the streets or in homeless shelters.

Outreach Teams are in most shelters weekly and provides expanded day services at the Hermano Pedro Day Program. DMH operates a sobering station during hypothermia season.
 
As part of its Homeless Services Strategy*, DMH helps homeless people who are temporarily or chronically homeless and have mental illness get off the streets and into safe, decent housing where they can get the support they need.

DMH also has programs to help prevent evictions of individuals receiving mental health services.
