Crossroads provides 24-hour crisis intervention services at the agency’s main headquarters. Homeless individuals and families are connected quickly to services that help stabilize their lives—emergency shelter, health care, basic needs—and then to case management that links them to housing, substance abuse/ mental health treatment, recovery programs, adult education, job training, and employment. All services are client-centered, focused on the needs of each individual or family, and service-enriched to ensure that clients have access to the resources they need to become and stay self-sufficient.

Because homeless clients are able to access so many services at Crossroads, they tend to stay involved long enough to make significant progress toward self-sufficiency. Social services case managers coordinate with housing and vocational staff to help clients apply for housing and enroll in adult education and job training classes. Our goal is to help individuals and families move out of homelessness as quickly as possible and stay self-sufficient. If you are homeless and need assistance, please email Lesly Joseph or call 401.277.4200.
