CRISIS CENTER
Homeless Services

In Montgomery County all single, homeless adults are evaluated at the Crisis Center before being admitted to the shelter system. The center is available 24 hours a day for face-to-face interviews to discuss what led to their homelessness.

In an attempt to get to and address the problem at its root, clients are sent to treatment providers, who focus on why people become homeless. Three major reasons for homelessness are psychiatric or emotional problems, substance use/abuse, and situational issues (job loss, divorce, etc.).

Clients who successfully participate in treatment and comply with shelter rules are moved upward through the tiers of the homeless shelter system as space permits, with the goal of gainful employment and self-sufficiency.
