Drop-In Center

Hinds Behavioral Health Services’ peer-run drop-in center provides a variety of services to help individuals experiencing homelessness and mental illness and/or substance use disorder gain access to housing, treatment, and recovery support. Peers help individuals build social skills, self-confidence, self-advocacy, and support systems. The drop-in center also provides access to basic needs such as food, showers, toiletries, clothes, laundry, telephones, and mail. Individuals may voluntarily drop in and participate in activities or use any of the center’s services.
