The Drop-In Center is meant to serve as a multi-purpose resource to the general LGBTQIA+ youth homeless population that are not able to reside at the facility. This could include those who are not of the correct age group to become a resident, those who have somewhere to live, but can’t afford showering, washing their clothes or buying groceries, those who are looking for information on helpful resources to get them to safety and wellness, and many more scenarios. A place to offer them safety, help and comfort, even temporarily.

There are lockers so the occupants can store their belongings safely while they shower, do laundry, or take advantage of the other amenities this facility has to offer. There is a variety of seating for inclusivity and freedom of choice as well as a TV and information center to be updated on LGBTQIA+ specific events, opportunities & important news. In the attached space, there are private nap pods that the visitors can take full advantage of.
