The SBY 8th St DC Drop-In Center offers a safe haven for young individuals in crisis, providing essential support to help them achieve stability and independence in Washington, DC. Our dedicated team implements harm reduction strategies as an initial step, then collaborates to develop comprehensive service plans tailored to individual needs. Visitors to our drop-in center can access vital resources such as food assistance, showers, toiletries, school supplies, and much more, while also receiving guidance in navigating the DC Housing and CAHP Systems. We facilitate emergency housing navigation, connect youth with case managers, and offer crisis intervention, conflict resolution, and counseling services. Additionally, we engage young people through recreational and cultural activities and provide workforce development, school re-engagement support, and health education, all aimed at empowering them to attain necessary benefits and resources. We warmly invite youth in need to visit us during our operating hours to discuss the various ways we can help. For those seeking immediate assistance outside of regular hours, we encourage you to reach out through our 24 Hour Hotline.
